>> It actually looks quite nice!

The forum post, I gather ? Yes, it can look exactly like a Blog, all the controls are there, and Markdown works wonderful.

Sometimes I write a full blog here, and just hone it up a bit more at Write.freely.

Or maybe you were referring to the cool post with the jet picture? I liked it too.

@design_RG
I was refering to both😊.
it's true that it feels like in a blog post.
You actually asked to @angedestenebres about image sizes. Did yshe replied to you?

Yes -- and to come back here and look at the oh-so-poor presentation Mastodon makes of it.

We need Markdown, so bad. Really sad to look at posts here and compare to what I do elsewhere.

That's why you're a fervent advocate of Glitch-Social!
I get that.

@globcoco

Yes! I even have a collection of snapshots of posts I make there; sometimes I attach a copy here so people can see them the way it should be.

@design_RG
I heard some people who prefers to use if at all Latex.
I opened an Overleaf account a few weeks back to do my resume but I have yet to understand its language...
Thanks to @zleap and the links he gave I hope to apply myself soon.

@globcoco

For writers I would think LaTex is overkill, it's best for science and math publications. For us wordsmiths, markdown does wonders already.

Some are using it to create creative Resume with some icons for a cool presentation

As it seemed the easiest to edit, I ahve added a table to display courses attended (well the short ones)

Also for the personal details I can include name / address etc, then also comment that out and include a shorter version with just name / e-mail for uploading to places (privacy) but by commenting in / out

I can switch between the two versions.
