I think this fits in nicely with the sort of "wiki way" of doing it. In a wiki, you have very simple commands, for instance: * this * that * the other thing becomes a bullet list, ''bold'' would be bold, and so on. What I don't like about that is that it stacks up, so bold italic uses five (5)! single quotes. Perhaps something like Dave's simple keywords and Wiki-ish bold and italics: # # Author: me # ArbitrayKeyword: something # # I think this should be *italic* or `bold' or something. # Maybe if you: # * Do this # * Do that # * Do this other thing # That's the least amount of typing I can think of, and vaugely matches common usage. /\ndy
