Vim can do this, not in the sence you putting into the article but at least it does it without requiring using anything else except 3 rows of keyboard.

Pfff. Styles of prose are: trolling, documenting, cat-talking, legal and just making a list of something. Trolling cannot be augmented, documenting feature begs of some connections to reality, proper cat-talking requires throwing a lot of synonyms really fast, legal is kind of Java programming when you type one line and get 40, and augmenting lists might be done with either md-style but without requiring to draw every symbol of that ascii tables or excel-style but without gui.

So in what sense? Some other irrelevant sense?


What do you mean by “cat-talking” here? Bing doesn’t yield much.


You don't want Bing. You want Bengal
