Before markdown (for me), there was Perl's POD. [0]
Simple to pick up, does what it says on the tin, easy to hack in, "Do What I Want", for things missing.
The tools for it are a little all over the place, but, "Turn this into HTML" (pod2html) works, and works well for documentation.
Can you write whole books with it? People do - I believe many of the Perl books put out by O'Reilly are written in a POD dialect.
