I think there is another article waiting to be written, why ReStructured Text lost. I know that in my younger years I would get a lot of flak for converting .rst files into .md when I joined projects. (As I got older I just stopped seeing .rst that much) | ||

> I know that in my younger years I would get a lot of flak for converting .rst files into .md when I joined projects. Why would you do that? Seems terribly impolite to join a project and start breaking things... | ||

I love reST and I think it lost primarily because of distribution. I.e., the people using it did not have large audiences and didn't put much effort into promoting it. It's a shame because reST is almost as easy on the eyes as Markdown and is much more capable without being too much more complex. | ||

rST is still fairly popular in Python circles, especially for anyone using Sphinx. | ||
