@dataknut The Ted Nelson version I was thinking of was "What You See Is What You Never Could (Before)" which maybe is not as catchy as he imagined. Here it is in GEEKS BEARING GIFTS, which is in the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780578004389/page/72/mode/2up

Thoughts On Markdown — Smashing Magazine

In this article, Knut shares his advice against Markdown by looking back on why it was introduced in the first place, and by going through some of the major developments of content on the web.
