This also misses the point: multiple syntax markers for the same thing is the opposite of simplicity (though that's not the reason why Markdown will fail)

- NetMageSCW 7mo agoYou have the wrong end of the stick. The point is simplicity for the user, not the developer of the parser. And for users, having two ways to get the same thing adds no complexity- they just pick one and use it.
- eviks 7mo agoI don't, it's not simple for the user - you can't just pick one and forget the other or you'll end you wondering why your use of the other for regular text.l suddenly broke your whole paragraph because you didn't close a mark you never use. This is the needless complexity you wished away
