TL> MarkdownТs backticks, because it is much easier to parse

But it will not be compatible  with  other  newsreaders  and
with  the  Usenet medium in general, which is plain text. It
is much better simply to produce well-formatted plain  text,
using  good  text  editors  (e.g. Vim) or standard tools for
typesetting plain text, such as GNU Troff, in which I format
all  my  messages. The quote above, for example, demostrates
my own Groff macro for Fidonet quotations.
