Markdown is for writing content. Content creators shouldn't need to write their content (blogs, news, whatever) in HTML. Markdown is for that and only that.

    Right. Any (those I can think of at least) type of content that doesn't require specialized formatting (math symbols, etc) like READMEs, blogs, journals, CMS content, etc.
