Lightweight Markup Languages

[edit]

According to Wikipedia:

A lightweight markup language is a markup language with a simple syntax, designed to be easy for a human to enter with a simple text editor, and easy to read in its raw form.

Some examples are:

  • Markdown
  • Textile
  • BBCode
  • MediaWiki

Markup should also extend to code:

10 PRINT "I ROCK AT BASIC!"
20 GOTO 10
