Sweet. I've been a tiny enthusiast of Markdown for almost 20 years. It's just a great format.
I host a forum for a gaming community and it uses BBcode, which was... not completely terrible for the time, but ever since I used markdown, I've always hated it. heh. Markdown is just simple and easy to remember, and it's easy to use. It quickly becomes second nature.
