Why I Prefer RST to Markdown
I like Markdown because it's simple and doesn't give me that many headaches.
You know what I don't like? HTML, for user submitted content in particular. The mess I've seen, after someone opted for using HTML for messages in a system, because that's what JS based editors were available for at the time. Endless need to work against XSS, with more and more incremental updates needed to the sanitization logic, some of which broke the presentation of the data in the DB.
Never again. Markdown, BBCode, anything but that.
As for docs? Currently just some Markdown, because that's what GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and others all know how to render.
Maybe something like https://www.mkdocs.org/ for the more standalone use cases.
