I had actually considered Markdown first. I like the faux-markup
philosophy of making things look "correct" even in plain text. However,
I couldn't find any note of its ability to do good typography. I didn't
know about Smartypants, so maybe I'll have to give it another look. I'd
probably be happy with *just* smartypants, really. I didn't plan on
doing much inline markup.

  Still, Textile appears to do more of this kind of thing (e.g. making
4x6 into 4__AT__#215;6). And I rather like the idea of using one
preflighting script instead of two.

  Textile can do tables (not that I'm planning on it). It will also do
(C), (R), and (TM).

  My *other* reason is that Red Cloth is in Ruby, which is my tinkering
project at the moment...
