CriticMarkup
CriticMarkup is a plain-text convention for marking edits the way editors mark paper. Since it is plain text, it travels through email and git like everything else. PeepMD renders all five annotations.
The five marks
Insertion, {++text++}:
The report was substantially revised.
Deletion, {--text--}:
The meeting is probably on Thursday.
Substitution, {~~old~>new~~}:
We ship the prototypefinal build next week.
Highlight, {==text==}:
The deadline is non-negotiable.
Comment, {>>text<<}:
That wording was chosen carefully legal insisted and should not change.
All five in one working sentence: I really think this new draft is okaystrong as written ship it.
Plays well with the rest
Plain GFM strikethrough keeps its ordinary look, since critic deletions get their own coloring, and Bear-style highlights stay independent of critic highlights.
Tip
Critic marks survive into rich copy and exports, so a marked-up draft pastes into Mail with the annotations visible.
