- cmroanirgo 7y agoI'm a bit of a fan of textile [0] and first came across the redcloth version[1] years ago, especially for non technical writing. In particular, it's closely aligned to the html that gets generated without all the angles. Eg. You can easily add class and/or id to a paragraph: > Some text p.red Some red text It has easy to do left, centre and right alignments. Markdown was (slightly) influenced by textile too [2]: > While Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML filters — including Setext, atx, Textile, reStructuredText, Grutatext, and EtText — the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email. Too bad it's gone the way of the dodo [3].
