Back to lightweight markup languages | |
setext is a simple markup language which was originally used in | |
1991 by the TidBITS newsletter. It is easily readable, but it | |
can't really represent complex documents: it only allows two | |
levels of headings, it only has unordered lists, and they can't | |
be nested. | |
