Maybe better title: HTML and epub (or vice versa)
- the "web trinities": URL, HTTP, HTML / HTML, CSS, JS
- XHTML/RDF... and the so-called semantic web... (and relations to the (historical) XML community)
- Metadata (in SVG)
- EPUB
- pandoc
- Regular expressions, grep, sed?
some "old school" tricks worth understanding...
- (meta)redirections, cool urls don't change?!
- framesets
- iframe and postMessage style communication?
- tables?
Example from raspberry pi script:
sed -i 's| init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize\.sh||' /boot/cmdline.txt
- WHATWG ...
- YAML metadata & templates, DPT workflow tutorial
- alternatives / parallel histories? (plato, bbs, dartmouth, ... )
- https://sammacbeth.eu/blog/2019/03/22/dat-for-firefox-1.html
- maybe try a realtime editor like: https://demo.codimd.org/
- https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/
- Redirection (meta refresh style?)
- Command-line html tools -- what exists?
- API via URL ?
- Working with "living standards": https://caniuse.com/ , http://youmightnotneedjs.com/, http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/

Markdown was developed by John Gruber who writes on his website:
The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML filters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email.
As an example, he offers the source text of his own website.
Markup
Ed Mosher, Ray Lorie, and I invented the first structured markup language in 1969, IBM’s “Generalized Markup Language” (GML). In 1970 I coined the phrase “markup language” in order to describe our invention.
GML led to SGML, which I invented in 1974. SGML literally makes the infrastructure of modern society possible. Our incredibly complex systems and products require massive amounts of documentation – 4 million pages for a single model of aircraft, for example, which must be updated quarterly. That documentation couldn’t be created and managed without SGML.
The same is true for the documentation of nuclear plants, oil rigs, government laws and regulations, military systems – and anything else that is too complex for a single person to understand and that has life-and-death significance. All of those things are documented with SGML.
The World Wide Web is also powered by SGML. In 1999 the Society for Technical Communication recognized that synergy by conferring Honorary Fellowships on both Tim Berners-Lee and myself. It was the only dual award since 1974, when Buckminster Fuller and Frank Winship received the first two Honorary Fellowships.
HTML is an SGML application, while XML is a Web-optimized subset of SGML. For a quick and clear explanation of XML, read XML in an Instant: A Non-geeky Introduction.
