Just out of curiousity, why not use reStructuredText?
- steveklabnik 11y agoWe had a long, hard think about it. We had a fairly significant amount of Markdown, the tooling was already written, and on a more personal note, I like the idea of reStructuredText, but I _hate_ writing it. If we'd have overwhelming reason to switch, we still would have, but basically, that's why: not enough reason to overcome momentum. ASCIIDoc or something else might be nice too.
