-<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.
+</p>

+  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!

+  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.

-<h1>Why Does Everyone Use Adobe Acrobat [Reader]?</h1>
-
-<p>
-  This is something that I've never been able to figure out. All through high
-  school I had to use PDFs. And if you wanted to open a PDF, everyone understood
-  that you needed Adobe Acrobat Reader. Even web sites where you downloaded PDFs
-  insisted that in order to open them, you were going to have to follow a
-  download link to make sure you have Acrobat on your PC.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-  Fast-forward a few years into college and I'm using PDFs more than ever. Every
-  professor ever is scanning and uploading course material, so out comes Acrobat
-  Reader for literally every teacher and student. At this point I was actually
-  used to using Firefox (PDF.js) to view PDFs for a couple of reasons. First of
-  all, Firefox usually opened PDFs faster than Acrobat Reader did. Reader was
-  getting bigger with every release, and eventually had a monstrous UI to load
-  up every time I wanted to open a tiny PDF file. Second, Firefox had smooth
-  scrolling for page-width documents. Reader was getting slower and laggier with
-  each release, to the point where scrolling through a PDF was no longer buttery
-  smooth but jittery and stuttery. It also seemed like Reader purposefully
-  wouldn't slide the page when you used a mouse wheel. It would jump down a few
-  lines at a time like it was simulating the down arrow.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-  By my senior year I had switched from Windows to Linux full-time and it was
-  then I found out about <a href="https://mupdf.com/">MuPDF</a> and from then on
-  things were never the same. It's literally the best PDF reader I've ever used,
-  and I tried out quite a few. There are desktop and mobile apps. It opens
-  almost instantly. It lets you easily resize the page with excellent keyboard
-  shortcuts. There are no giant menu bars on either side of the page to squish
-  the document down to an unreadable size. Having a dozen of them open at once
-  doesn't bog down my PC. It's also available for all of the relevant operating
-  systems I've used (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, FreeBSD)! Oh and password-protected
-  PDFs are supported as well.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-  It's a fantastic piece of software And the best part is it comes with a
-  variety of tools to edit and manipulate PDFs as well. If the folks I went to
-  school with thought you needed the free Acrobat Reader to view a PDF, they
-  sure as heck thought you needed to buy Acrobat Pro to edit one. Some of them
-  refused to pay for it and used a variety of online services to upload, split
-  or merge, and download PDFs. I honestly for the life of me can't understand
-  why. MuPDF comes with <code>mutool</code>, which does all of the things I
-  would ever need to do with a PDF. It can attempt to convert a PDF to other
-  formats, like HTML. It can split and combine documents. It can even create
-  them from scratch and sign them.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-  It's also free and open source. Can you imagine that? PDF viewing and editing
-  being free and open source? It's AGPL (in addition to being commercially)
-  licensed by the creators. The only slight drawback is the desktop version
-  apparently does not yet let you fill out forms. Not sure why but this isn't
-  something I use very frequently.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-  It's not the hottest piece of tech out there, but it just plain works and
-  works really well. Maybe the only reason more people I know don't use it is
-  because Adobe is synonymous with the PDF format. It doesn't seem like that big
-  of a deal, but I feel like Acrobat has always been a piece of software that
-  has frustrated new or infrequent users in computing. And that's just not good.
-  Maybe the barrier to using MuPDF is the lack of GUI and abundance of
-  keybindings, but for me that's no sweat. I'd say to anyone to just try it out
-  and see if they like it. It is free, after all.
