But the Markdown philosophy is not about being "simple but
powerful." It's about having source files that are
human-readable text files.
Quoting from John Gruber's original Markdown syntax page:The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax
is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a
Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as
plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with
tags or formatting instructions.
CSV is simple (though not as flexible as HTML formatting).
But it doesn't pass this test.
This design goal is really important to keep in mind when
comparing Markdown to alternatives, which are often easier
to write (because, for example, sublists are indicated by
`**` instead of indentation), but don't look as natural
to read.
