MarkDown…lets call it what it is – A Less Useful MarkUp (ALUMU?)…We should also invent a new category for both ALUMU and MarkUp. I don’t have a good name for this superset but it can be characterised easily as “non-standardised, codified text”.
Why anyone would want to use non-standardised, codified text is very hard to understand. I thought we had learnt that mistake from MS Word.
