This is fine, but isn’t really an alternative to markdown. It’s not good for what markdown is good for, which is writing and reading plain text that can also be transformed to HTML. It looks like it’s an alternate syntax for HTML angle-bracket tags. (Personally, I see no value in that. I can see it’s arguably “cleaner”-looking, but not by much and at the substantial cost of a non-standard syntax.)
