-<p>The year is 2020 and I write the majority of my documents in HTML.</p>
+<p class="description">
+  I've been without MS Word for quite a few years since I switched away from
+  Windows and honestly I haven't needed it. I took notes and wrote documents in
+  Markdown for a while. That was alright because the syntax is easy and any text
+  editor can read a Markdown file. Sometimes I need shareable formatting, so
+  recently I started using HTML for all documents I intend to share, upload, or
+  print.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  The year is 2021 and I write all my formatted documents in HTML. It sounds
+  needless but if you think about it it makes a lot of sense. HTML after all was
+  designed to be the streaming document of choice when the web was introduced to
+  the world. So it's tailor-made for shareable, digital documents.
+  <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/"
+    >Over the years the specification has gotten larger</a
+  >, and most of the syntax required by a typical user is present.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  But why bother? What are the "benefits"? Well, HTML is ubiquitous. And by that
+  I mean literally <em>everyone</em> can read an HTML document because literally
+  everyone has a web browser installed. Friends don't have Word? Use Google
+  Docs? Use Apple Pages? Forget it. I bet you all of those folks have a web
+  browser that was made after 1999. That means they can all read your document,
+  either by visiting it on your site or receiving it in an email.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  What's easier than reading HTML is writing it. Anyone with a text editor can
+  do it. Heck, even those folks with Word installed can save their documents as
+  [reasonable] HTML. And the tags aren't that hard to learn. I don't think that
+  Markdown is an easier syntax to learn and understand. HTML's tags are only
+  slightly more verbose and the structure is a pro, not a con. It's certainly
+  easier than writing a document in LaTeX. I would even argue in some ways it's
+  easier than working with a WYSIWYG editor. At least the formatting you're
+  looking for isn't getting shuffled from menu to sub-menu.

+  Sometimes folks want a PDF instead. Okay, fine. For whatever reason PDFs are
+  the reigning document of the land. That doesn't mean you need Adobe Acrobat or
+  some custom setup involving
+  <code>wkhtmltopdf</code>. Or even worse, some strange LaTeX middleware via
+  <code>pandoc</code>. You don't need any of that! The best PDF reader in the
+  world, MuPDF, also comes with <code>mutool</code>.
+  <code>mutool convert [options] file [pages]</code> will convert a variety of
+  formats to or from a PDF. And the results look terrific going from an HTML to
+  a PDF. If you want, you can customize the results by writing CSS into
+  <code>@media print</code> queries. Automate the creation with a script when
+  you safe the underlying document. Sky's the limit!

-  documents that I intend to upload, print, or send to other users. Here's why.
+  But what about presentations or slideshows? Surely, the "minimal" solution is
+  to use something like Suckless' <code>sent</code> right? Well, you can also do
+  slideshows in HTML! Just a little CSS and some <code>section</code> and
+  <code>a</code> tags and you've got a click-able, full-browser slideshow with
+  images, links, titles, icons, flowcharts, embedded videos, and a printable
+  slide deck. And the best part is that you can instantly share online by
+  dropping it into a public web root. You don't have to use Google Slides or
+  some other third-party slide creator online that none of your friends use.
+  Heck, Suckless <code>sent</code> is just that: yet another slideshow tool that
+  does one thing and nobody but you has it installed. Your HTML slides are
+  <em>just as plain text</em> as a <code>sent</code> deck.
