Don't think so. I saw more than 10 "simplified markups", of which nearly
all was more complicated than original HTML. I wanted something like
this in my JPA, so I added possibility to use Mark Pilgrim's Python
implementation of Dean Allen's Textile (originally implemented in PHP,
Perl version also exists), but Textile is really "simplified", its
capabilities are rather limited. Go to http://diveintomark.org/ and
check if PyTextile will suit your needs.
