Fwd: [Instiki] For End Users: Textile or Markdown?

[zer0halo]

But does the original author write it using markup, or do you insert
the markup as you edit? If the latter, then aren't you "writing" as
well?

Nevertheless, I agree that under some conditions, reading might be
more useful than writing. So both Textile and Markdown maybe be
equally suitable depending on the situation.

Speaking of Word, one of those "projects" on my list is to write a
Word macro that converts basic Word formatting (bold/italics, headers,
bullets, etc.) to Textile (or Markdown) automatically. Or maybe
there's already one out there--I haven't really looked.
