A directory of handmade webpages

I’ve never seen a markdown flavour with anything other than 1 for italic and 2 for bold. Emphasis and strong emphasis respectively.

I agree that the link to image syntax is easier to remember in html. That said, since markdown supports inline html you can always use that.

Hard to remember. <b> and <i> are easier to remember than 1 and 2 (or is it 2 and 1) and now I have to figure out how to escape a damn asterisk, and how to do bold italic. Too much stuff to figure out. HTML is easier.

Go and use MediaWiki markup, then you won't be able to make that assertion any more. (-:
