We have html, why do we need yet another markup language? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_document-markup_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C

  > We have html.. The origins of AsciiDoc is informative. AsciiDoc is a lightweight successor to the XML DocBook format used originally to write O'Reilly computer books/manuals. Both DocBook and ePub XML add semantic elements required to describe book structure. The Lightweight Markup Languages arose to avoid the tagsoup that is not author/writer friendly. There is a place for readable/writable content that is free of GUI editor requirements. I was once told that there is a right tool for every job.
