Hi Andy,

Yeah, there's a lot of markup tools out there. Some are easier to
read, but are more limited. Others give you lots and lots of easy
markup syntax, but that syntax can interfere too much with your main
text. Some have better (or more) format conversion tools than others.
They all also have varying levels of community support, maturity,
extensibility, and ease of use. I settled on reST for my own docs
because it provides a pretty good mix.
