You're thinking of [Haml][1], which is not awesome.
[Markdown][2], on the other hand, _is_ awesome. Because it's just a
canonicalization of text formats **we already all use** when we're writing
in plain text. Like this email, in fact.
The snip above from Dale's email is a blockquote.
**This text is bold**, _this is italic_.
These things that look like paragraphs: are.
1. I linked the "Markdown" and "Haml" text above.
2. This is an ordered list.
* You can make unordered lists, too.
* And nested lists, just by indenting things.
You should check it out. You probably already know most of the syntax :)
