-# The case for plain HTML
-
-*A note, not an essay — expect it to change. This page shows how a wiki note reads: internal wiki links render as underlined-dotted links, and a backlinks panel sits at the bottom.*
-
-A hand-written HTML page is the most durable document format I know of that still looks like a document. It has no runtime, no dependencies, and no version that can go out of date. A file I wrote in 2004 opens today, pixel-for-pixel, in a browser that didn't exist then.
-
-This connects to [Gemtext & the small web](index.html) — both are bets that *constraint outlives capability*. See also [How I take notes](index.html) for why I keep the source in plain text.
-
-## Things I no longer do
-
-- Reach for a framework before there's a second page.
-- Add a build step to save five keystrokes.
-- Load a web font when the reader already owns a good one.
-
-## The test
-
-Turn JavaScript off. If the page is worse, I've added fragility I have to maintain forever. If it's identical, I'm done. This whole site passes that test — see the [colophon](../about/index.html).
