@tindall@cybre.space “right now i’m teaching the computer how to understand these certain kinds of syntax definitions, so that when i ask the computer to open a file written in such and such a manner, it is able to process that file in such a way that it can then use. next, i’m going to write a transformation, so that when the computer encounters the output from that process, it is able to display it in a manner which is friendly to users. this means that i can write my documents in such and such a way, and the computer knows how to interpret that as a request to show users such and such content.” is this different? what’s the difference?
