I use markdown in a gist because I just want the text, without frills. Markdown is a good example for this article because all it does is simple text formatting (though I understand it is a shitshow to work with behind the scenes.) That said, I appreciate the advice and will build a better version to host future articles. Now that you say it, the text bothers me :)
