in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Written for writers rather than programmers, but frustrating in your case.
I think Gruber took on the extra load (perl spaghetti?) to make it more logical in use โ probably never envisioning itโs popularity or endless reimplementations, having predated our GitHub style open source collaborative explosion and probably only ever considering the CPAN Perl archive (at most, if at all).

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Iโve heard him admit some quirks / shortsightedness, but I think heโd repeat some unless the markup could remain natural to writers. The conventions grew from text email and newsgroups, where they were never intended to be read as formatted html.
The other was to make it look as little like โmarkupโ as possible, and therefore, intuitive (the basic emphasis, bullets and headers are easily understood โ even if reference links and tables are harder to write/dev than to read).
