Recently GitHub announced that GitHub Actions will be moving away from the original HCL syntax in-favour of a YAML format similar to Travis CI and Bitbucket Pipelines. This means that HCL style actions will no longer work after September 30, 2019. It is possible to migrate using a migration script however in-some cases it may be required to reconfigure. This particular issue occurred to me as actions which return a neutral result seem to fail the whole build with the YAML format.

Using Markdown to write content is a joy; gone are the days of clunky and slow word processors. Leveraging HTML tags for complete control over your document when needed and falling back to a simple and constant syntax for simpler operations works great. Most VCS hosting platforms will recognize the extension and render it. For larger documents typically organizing sections using a table of contents with anchors is an easy and streamlined process.
