in thread Typing bracket characters

I like the idea of easily escaping out special chars in a consistant way. How would you do formatting regions like bold and italics? The TEX way, which is also consistant with Perl's concepts, that \ in front of a nonletter removes special meaning, but \ in front of a letter adds special meaning?

    You can arrange to do it any way you want. You can also make large chunks of it user configurable. But personally I like the idea of winding up with a markup language which is mainly HTML with a few handy shortcuts. So I would suggest sticking with the usual tags.
