-=-=-=-=-=-=-

So, a few months ago, I thought to make a web-based markup language

and, maybe, just maybe, the problem with the web is HTML, and not HTTP and HTTPS

it's called TextLink and it has a beginner friendly syntax, unlike gemini and gopher

in gemini, a link looks like this

=> /path/to/page.gmi Page

in TextLink, a link looks like this

.link file://path/to/page.txtl Page

it's still buggy, but functional

plus it has something that gemini does not have, and I don't even think HTML has it too

Inputs In TextLink

the command is

.input @variable Default Content

first, .input allowed you to get input

when it is displayed it is

(0) Default Content

when you activate it, it says

Input:

you enter your input and press enter

and the content of the input changes, so it is now

(0) New Content

and also, the content is stored in the variable @variable (or whatever other name you give it)

witch you can display with

@variable

witch would display the currant content of @variable

you can also put it in urls like

.link https://localhost/search?@variable Search It Up!

but that is not fully working yet

version 0.1 only has .link and a basic UI

version 0.6 has all of the stuff discussed, but it is not done yet. 99% of it is done, but you can't download it yet

this is a HTTPS link to where you can download v0.1 and v0.6 when it is ready
