We use Textile on our Redmine install. It's not terrible, but it always seems like I am writing more markup than should really be necessary

- chipotle_coyote 8y agoIt's possible that Textile is a little bit too "middle ground": it's not trying to be a fully semantic markup language like AsciiDoc, but it's not as minimal as Markdown's "cover the common cases as easily as possible and fall back to HTML for everything else" approach, which I suspect is kind of what led Markdown to win. (Also what lets it get away with its "who needs specs" approach that drives some people nuts, of course.) That suggests Hamdown might also be too middle ground, although it'd be more familiar to folks who are already Haml fans. Personally I always found Haml a little off-putting, but I have absolutely no good reason why.
