-This project mainly involves navigating in and altering data structures.
-Main data structures are the document formats Markdown, HTML and PDF,
-and the abstract data language RDF,
-serialised as RDFa (embedded in HTML) and PDF (embedded in PDF).
-
-## Markdown
-
-Markdown is a text markup language
-with an emphasis on being easy for humans to read
-[@Gruber2004].
-
-Compared to word processors like Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer,
-Markdown authoring stores both content and markup together
-in a human-readable tekst file.
-
-::: {#fig-formality}
-
-```
-informal        /---------formatted text----------\        formal
-<------v-------------v-------------v-----------------------v---->
- plain text     informal markup   formal markup    binary format
-                (Markdown)        (HTML, XML, etc.)
-```
-
-Markdown is informal, ASCII-based markup
-[@Leonard2016, p. 4]
-
-:::
-
-HTML is itself a plaintext format,
-but is less human-readable.
-Similarly the format LaTeX is also plaintext,
-but its markdown arguably distracts the reading process
-[@Mailund2019chap2, p. 9].
-
-### Alternatives
-
-Other human-readable document source formats exists.
-
-*TODO: briefly cover reStructuredText, Org-mode and AsciiDoc.*
-
-### Integration
-
-Markdown is in widespread use.
-
-Major source forges use Markdown by default for `README` files
-[@Github2025; @GitLab2025; @Codeberg2024].
-Some major programming languages
-natively support Markdown in embedded docstrings
-in core tools
-[@Microsoft2023; @Oracle2025; @RustTeam2024];
-others offer optional support e.g. through plugins
-[@Heesch2025; @Sphinx2025; @JSDoc2023].
