* reStructured Text, at http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
** likes: tables
** dislikes: hyperlink syntax, too complicated
* Markdown, at http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
** likes: idea to "look like email", headers, blockquotes, paragraphs in lists, reference-style links
** dislikes: hyperlink, emphasis, images

!! Key enhancements

* == and -- for headings.
** Source: plain text, Markdown.
* Bullet lists: include "-" for markup.
* Number lists: like RST, i.e. use 1., 2., ...
* Add paragraphs in lists, like Markdown.
