Really cool!

I don't want to sound nitpicky buuuuuut in text based emails folks have been using bold, /italics/, _underlining_, and {{{ preformatted }}} text for a long time with slightly different syntax. How attached are you to the one you chose? Would you be open to accepting a patch to use the older syntax?




I once tried to write a markup parser with slashes for italics, then I understood why no parser seems to use them. It interferes with URLs, dates, slashes as "or", etc.


AFAIR thunderbird used it


For this first pass I went with a markdown-like syntax. However, I'm not tied to it.

Submit a PR here https://github.com/adamschwartz/log/pulls and we'll consider it if there is wide support.
