Does anyone have any thoughts on this markup language design? I looked at using markdown, but it doesn't provide the flexibility I need, so when I thought about adding that flexibility, this is what I got.

It should do everything I need without a whole lot more even, basically it is designed to be a very simple and accessible html replacement for generic interactive site/document content.

@majicDave Seems fine, more or less like Markdown. What limitations are you trying to work around?
@slembcke I needed a general way to set attributes for ranges both within strings and for entire strings or multiple paragraphs. So basically I adapted the [range](link) syntax for a [range](style) syntax, and added a (style) on its own. And removed all the ==== header underline and list cruft.
