Markdown Ate The World https://matduggan.com/markdown-ate-the-world/

@matdevdug I love markdown too! You almost touched on an aspect I really like: Accessibility. The author does not dictate how the text is presented (except some small things like headers and lists). The reader chooses the most comfortable way for them to view it. They may not want to read your work as a series of white rectangles; or perhaps there is a font or colour that is easier for them to read.
Now what may be lost though is creative writing where the precise formatting is a big part of the art. But other than that I like the markdown way. Maybe some graphical editor for some subset of HTML could be invented to get more formatting.
(and I'll also include my silly flowchart regarding text processing formats)
