If HTML happened again except this time it was markdown, maybe more non-nerds would be able to use it? XML just looks gnarly.

Problem with the markdown approach the text will become rapidly ugly with hacks, non-standard annotations to enable same features as HTML.
I'm very curious. I hated how html requires angled brackets for everything and love markdown for its neatness.

What are some of the ugly hacks you've seen that were applied?
