    It’s a simple and elegant way of covering 95% of document structuring needs, while being as close to readable plaintext as possible.

    The vast majority of documents currently written in MS-word could just be markdown. The vast majority of web content could just be markdown. This would save the modern world petabytes of XML bloat.

    If you need something fancier, either use a vector format or do fancy client-side styling.
