[edit] reStructuredText
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html reStructuredText
reStructuredText is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup syntax and parser system. It is useful for in-line program documentation (such as Python docstrings), for quickly creating simple web pages, and for standalone documents. reStructuredText is designed for extensibility for specific application domains. The reStructuredText parser is a component of Docutils. reStructuredText is a revision and reinterpretation of the StructuredText and Setext lightweight markup systems.
A ReStructuredText Primer (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickstart.html). (excerpts)
This is a paragraph. It's quite
short.
This paragraph will result in an indented block of
text, typically used for quoting other text.
Inside paragraphs and other bodies of text, you may additionally mark text for italics with "*italics*" or bold with "**bold**".
If you want something to appear as a fixed-space literal, use "``double back-quotes``".
* a bullet point using "*"
- a sub-list using "-"
+ yet another sub-list
- another item
::
This is preformatted text, and the
last "::" paragraph is removed
