MarkDown
To write docs, with emphasis on writability and readability of the text,
but still want to render it into nice HTML, Markdown is the way to go.
However, web browser does NOT render markdown document directly (maybe eventually they will?). As of now, a program take the markdown doc as input and convert it to html.
Markdown syntax provides a concise overview and reference.
To a large extend, markdown convey the spirit of LaTeX, focus on content, let a render engine worry about the pretty facing work. I am not sure how tables are handled, which was the deal breaker for me in LaTeX.

[[BR]] line break. wiki does not interpret normal CR/LF as new line, it will parse text continuously like html does, it will only break into new paragraph if there is a blank line between two block of text. Kinda anoying :(

* list entry 1
* list entry 2
* list entry 2a
- - - - # horizontal line
