I've used things like markdown and wiki...umm...that other markup with 
"wiki" in the name...and whatever trac uses quite a bit. While there are a 
few things about them I found convenient, overall I felt they were horribly 
limited, constantly getting in the way and preventing me from doing what I 
want to do, and do too much "magical" modification of what I type. I avoid 
them and go for straight HTML/CSS whenever I have the opportunity. Not 
saying DDoc's perfect (haven't really used it, to be honest), but I do know 
it'll handle any HTML I could possibly want, so I'd *hate* to see a switch 
to one of those damn "for the idiot masses" blog markups.
