@sxan @petrescatraian It seemed like a good idea in 2010 for a PHP app with a forum-like feature.
Yeah, I get the origins. I wish there'd be a mime-type update to move it into modern times.
The irony is that they got it right in the 80's. Simple markup conventions forced by pre-mime text/plain emails and, later in the 90's, SMS are still the basis for most lightweight markup languages.
