Mediawiki syntax is incredibly easy to use and kind of genius. It would also work well with wiki posts. It also seems to be more familiar to non-developers than Markdown but I could be very wrong.
Examples:
==header==
*bullet point without needing space
‘’‘bold’’’
‘‘italics’’

Discourse is heavily invested in Markdown, as @codinghorror even went to co-build https://commonmark.org/ to develop a markdown standard.

I wonder if it would even be legal to sell something with mediawiki syntax, I assume so though
@orchardstreet , it would be. MediaWiki is FOSS, and no entity has patented any markup syntax.
