What doesn’t work well for me, is that I cannot easily extend
Markdown. The design that I propose is simpler and more strict. All
tags work the same way. The input is close to a data structure, and it
doesn’t need complex parsing. The drawback is that tables and lists
need more characters:
p Here is a list.
list (item One)\
(item Two)\
(item Three)
Or…
p Here is a list.
(list (item One)
(item Two)
(item Three))
In Markdown, it’s much simpler for the user, but more complex for the parser:
* One
* Two
* Three
