PhpBB is a popular forum engine that supports so called BBCodes - variation of markup/markdown. So you can create pretty reach discussion messages.

But when you need to provide tabular data (statistic results for example) ... and by people of Excel age ... challenging at least.

Support of various half-backed markups/markdowns is one of design goals.

I’m sorry, I didn’t make clear enough I was expressing surprise at your casual sexism.

I thought the blonde stereotype was gender neutral?

I'm sure he got it!

"casual sexism" umm … what?

5% of population is capable to be leaders - to manage people and businesses . There are 7% of people who have abstract minds to do science. We are not equal in this respect. At the same time that absolutely does not mean that we are bad or "second tier" people. Each of us has its perfect "half" that we love. Even more - love is not possible between twos who have absolutely similar characters and skills.

I was born in USSR so quite familiar with enforced equality.

And back to subject: being an author of HTML/CSS engine I am quite familiar with HTML/CSS. Yet did couple of Markdown-to-HTML parsers. So I know all this stuff from inside out. But still I cannot convince myself of typing structured texts using monospace fonts of plain text editors. That's inhumane at least. Proportional fonts are there on purpose.

Why, the heck, I or she shall use those "poor man WYSIWYGs" (Markdown & friends) in 21st century when robots are landing on asteroids and other planets?

It's not about enforced equality, it's that there is no proof of your generalizations, and trying to be an authority on it is at best reaching for straws. We hardly know epigenetics and physical psychology. What we do know is that people tend to fills roles they're treated as, or are looked down on when not, so we try to diminish those effects by giving the opportunity of equality, however that individual may want to go about it.

If you meant it as a joke I don't actually mind that much, y'all are married, but it's when you're serious about it that people are going to call it out.

Looks like Terry Davis has a successor!
