Please, for the love of god, Stop creating markup languages, we have enought

You meant to say, data interchange formats?

Is there anything out there besides html and markdown?

If devrant had its own unique markup language you WOULD use it.

Thanks for advice, I'll publish my markup language rn

I can totally see why this happens.

In github wikis you have at least 5 markup languages and I don't particularly like either.

I like most stuff about markdown except how they treat 1 line break as 0 line breaks.

I would want to take a txt file and spice it up with some headings and bolds without having to enter double line breaks.

Hah, well I'm going to create yet another markup language! And I'll call it...

Oh wait...

@jonathands Haha, yep that's what happens. Almost unavoidable.

Follow up to my previous comment about searching for a markdownish language that respects line-breaks and is suitable for "spicing up a txt file"

For githubwikis I've started using Textile.
It respects line-breaks. Has similar syntax to markdown when it comes to the most basic stuff like bold, list, emphasis. But has a very different syntax for stuff like links, images and headings.

I find it quite hard to remember the syntax for links and images...so not crazy about it but the nice thing about githubwikis is that you can select a markuplanguage per page so I can use it only in a handful of cases if I want to.

HTML apparently has become soo complex we need new markup languages to generate it
