Just a question. Why under differential and not related to Remarkup?

Yes, that would be better. And then add links to from the differential guide. Watch this space...

Cowsay documentation moved to Remarkup section
Links to Remarkup section added to Differential documentation

Nice! Just few inline tips

src/docs/user/userguide/differential_faq.diviner
54

(Double space here)

56–57

We can put "." at the end of the phrase.

-Phabricator
+Phorge

Also maybe taking inspiration from remarkup.diviner:

-"similar to Markdown"
+"similar to other markup languages like Markdown and Wiki markup"

src/docs/user/userguide/remarkup_cowsay.diviner
18–27

Maybe we can just render the thing, quoted. Example:

> cowsay{{{Great work!}}}
35–48

Also here, maybe we can just quote and render

> cowsay(cow='tux'){{{Great work!}}}

Updated differential_faq.diviner as per review.

I disagree with using cowsay to render the output to show what cowsay should generate for the following reasons:

  • This would remove the demonstration of what the output looks like when the document is read as plain text - a primary purpose of markdown is that you can read the document directly, you don't have to view a rendered version over the web.
  • If there was a fault, you wouldn't know what it's supposed to generate.
