So do I. I briefly considered sticking with plain HTML, but then remembered you favored Markdown when I went with RestructuredText for the testing manual. On the surface, Markdown seems a great, lightweight mode for the tag descriptions until you see the first _. There is a way to use backslashes, but that comes with its own problems. We have easy access to the markup methods mentioned here, if you would like to propose an alternative: https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::Markup Alas, most of them employ * or _ for some form of emphasis. Perhaps we could use MediaWiki, which uses single quotes? Kind regards Felix
