Markdown Lite

[Matthew Mullenweg]

In the spirit of:

"Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax 
is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags. 
The idea is not to create a syntax that makes it easier to insert HTML 
tags. In my opinion, HTML tags are already easy to insert. The idea for 
Markdown is to make it easy to read, write, and edit prose."

If the project were to head in a "heavier" direction seeking to replace 
more of HTML (attributes, classes, IDs) might I suggest a limited subset 
of the Markdown syntax (dubbed "Lite") be standardized at the same time, 
allowing for a fast, easy-to-learn and -remember writing syntax that had 
Markdown's robust handling of core constructs.

My personal interest in this is that it would be more in line with the 
philosophy of the tools I'm working on.
