1. WIX (via) - text markup format inspired by TEX and wiki markup.

   Unlike every known wiki format, WIX has a formal grammar rather than an ad-hoc parser. This means that its parsing behavior is fully specified, unambiguous, and predictable.

   Unfortunately I don't particularly like some of the markup choices. For instance, I like my italics like *this* and my bold like **this**.

   I've also seen it compared to Ice.
