Hot take: Why it's #Markdown who became the most popular light markup language? Why not, say, #Textile or something else? I personally hate Markdown (and I promise, I will write a blog post about it) but of course I use it a lot because of its huge popularity. And now even #Notepad on #Windows gets Markdown support.

@jautero I thought they just followed everyone because they used to have Textile, but then they removed it.

@zstg Quickly skimming through its docs, I don't see any lists or headings, is that possible?
