Comment on Cooklang – Recipe Markup Languageparent

Comments

I didn't see if there was a way to customize ingredients lists, but it a lot of recipes I make and use the ingredients list will be more descriptive of the specific type of ingredient, and in the actual recipe it will just use a general term so it's easier to read, for example the ingredients would read:

* 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted

* 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed

...

and then in the actual recipe it would just say "in a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar..." and "in a medium bowl, combine bananas, butter, eggs..."

It seems in this lang it seems like it would need to read: "in a large bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour (sifted), sugar..." and "in a medium bowl, combine medium ripe bananas (mashed), butter, eggs..."

It just makes the actual recipe part messier than it needs to be. But like I said, I only skimmed the spec, maybe there is a way to customize and be more descriptive in the ingredients list.
