: Re: Very simple markup language for writing fiction I'm using a plain text editor (Vim) to write a fiction piece (chapter book), and I'm wondering what markup languages others use for such a task?

Markdown is good for fiction. It's a small, simple language and easy to type. It's very similar to the markup language used here on Stack Exchange.

If want to do something tricky that markdown doesn't support, you can drop into HTML. Those situations are rare in fiction.

There are vim plugins to highlight markdown syntax. (I use MacVim which has markdown syntax highlighting built in.)
