But that'd just make the page even longer. Plus, what if you want to
print out a copy of the quick ref docs? (The full syntax docs span
about 15 printed pages or so.)
I think it deserves its own page. "Main" covers things you do with
the Markdown.pl plug-in file -- how to download it, how to install it.
"Syntax" is the full documentation for the formatting syntax.
I think it's a good idea for another page, the purpose of which is
to serve as very quick introduction to the syntax. As in, take a
minute to look over this page, and you should "get" what Markdown is
like.
