The difference is normal users are able to use this more easily when used as a markup language. People use parenthesis all the time as a delimiter for their ideas (they do this sometimes). So telling them to {i do this sometimes}, isn't much of a stretch when they want to change tones or context of what they say. If you know html, this is pretty much the same thing but with {tag content} instead of {tag}content{/tag}. Not a lot of memorization involved and if I allow any tag then it's the same set of html tags plus the syntax transformations I've added. There is no source. It's not quite finished, and even so, the source is in erlang. Not the most common of languages.
