Markdown is the worst way to write HTML except for all the rest.

Asciidoc is much better IMHO

Asciidoc starts out great but has a lot of surprising gotchas and complexities.

I dislike Markdown, but I can't help finding Asciidoc annoying. There's got to be an "Asciidoc: The Good Parts" waiting to be written.

You had me in the first half, I'm not gonna lie.

Thank you for not lying; it is appreciated.
