Anybody remeber the dos version of Wordperfect 5 or 5.5? It had a mode, AFAIK triggered by pressing F11 or was it F12 where every formatting operation like inserting a new page, bold or italics was displayed as a control sequence. Wordperfect didn't care if you five times marked a text as bold and required you to "unbold" five times to continue writing in regular font.
I used to be a wizzard operating in this mode and many of my school-mates reached out for me to get their homework assignment properly formatted.
Somehow this WP5.5 format reminds me of that Markdown extension. Thankfully markdown is much richer in semantics.
