My snarky response is that it's more difficult (and slower) to "just hit some keys" and be able to generate the documentation in multiple formats.
I don't know about that. These days, it's pretty easy to convert from HTML to anything else. Especially if it's the clean, handwritten HTML that an experienced coder like irv would produce.
Then you're not "just hitting keys" any more. You're using external tools, too.
That's a good argument.

And since the documentation markup I use has less overhead than html, I have to hit a lot fewer keys, so I still win!

If you are typing all of
--**** -- == Pipe Input and Output -- -- <<LEVELTOC level=2 depth=4>> -- -- === Notes -- Due to a bug, Euphoria does not handle ##STDERR## properly. -- ##STDERR## cannot captured for Euphoria programs (other programs will work fu lly) -- The IO functions currently work with file handles, a future version might wra p them in streams -- so that they can be used directly alongside other file/socket/other-streams w ith a -- ##stream_select## function. --
by hand, then no, using a text editor with good macros is A LOT fewer keys.
(Of course, one can use macros with any text markup format.)
