I haven't tried dozens but I really really wanted to like asciidoc and rst. But they both require me to type n number of '=' for title string of length n. I confess I fail to see the utility in this kind of design.
I'm still looking (Scribble seems anything but lightweight!). Perlpod probably looks perfect but I have to see more.
Is there a markup that can do numbered lists?
- earenndil 8y agoWhy do you need markup for that? 1. first item 2. second 3. and so on Markdown does parse that, but it seems superfluous to me tbh.

- ben509 8y agoI feel the same way about RST; really wanted to like it, fought with it, gave up because Sphinx consistently seems to make simple things hard. Regarding section titles, I think the theory is it makes it easier to stick new header levels into a document. (For those who aren't familiar with RST: If it sees underlines like ====, ----, ^^^^ or ~~~~~, it decides what the header levels are based on the order in which it sees them.) In practice, it means a typo makes it completely ignore your header, you have to learn a set of acceptable characters for headers, and there's no way to start a document with anything less than shouty H1. Nice idea, though. > Is there a markup that can do numbered lists? Correctly and usably? NOPE.
