I’d like to write notes for class in plain text.
I was wondering if there was a markup language for doing this, where I could parse the notes for key terms, titles, page #s etc programmatically with a language such as Ruby or Python.
In the Python world, reStructuredText is probably the most widely used markup language, and it’s the result of a long-term and fairly rigorous design and development. It’s the markup underlying the Sphinx documentation tool which, among other things, is used for the Python docs and many Python projects.
I also haven’t seen a formal specification for other markup languages, at least not with the same thoroughness.
