it appears you don't really know what you're talking about, as
both markdown and restructured _are_ "true markup languages".

you want to invent a new one.  fine.  go ahead.  i did it myself...

p.s.  don, restructured text is older than markdown, and textile too,
as far as i know...  it's a reworking of "structured text", which is the
granddaddy of all the light markup languages.  and -- by the way --
z.m.l. is older than markdown.  indeed, one of the few appearances
of charlz on this listserve was when he came to announce markdown
as a z.m.l. clone...
