Thanks for your kind words (yes, sorry for the missing disclaimer). Texti is slowly evolving :-) The point is NOT to invent new syntax [1], thus, using the established unix-style/shell-style/python-style/ruby-style for comments. For a litte real world examples that generated HTML, LaTeX and Markdown from Texti see
https://github.com/texti/texti.github.io/tree/master/samplesPS: The main missing feature (among others) in Markdown and that rocks Wikitext (and Texti too) is built-in (recursive) templates (with optional parameters) using the {{}} syntax.
[1]: I know % is not new because it's used in LaTeX but LaTeX is esoteric compared to Python, Ruby, Shell Scripts, Unix Configs, etc.
