This is a dismissive comment, as is the parent. The post is about a well known software documentation paradigm.

I wasn't trying to be dismissive, only in line with the explicit call outs for simplicity from the author.

I suppose I was trying to give the perspective of someone doesn't have a problem with authoring a markdown document for example... and bringing myself back to the reality that for most people authoring a document with any sort of formal (rigid, to be interpreted by machine) syntax is unfamiliar.

Not really. As a techie I prefer a CMS over say Jekyll.
