The old way was complicated

<p>In order to create valid 
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML">HTML</a>, you 
need properly coded syntax that can be cumbersome for 
&#8220;non-programmers&#8221; to write. Sometimes, you
just want to easily make certain words <strong>bold
</strong>, and certain words <em>italicized</em> without
having to remember the syntax. Additionally, for example,
creating lists:</p>

<ul>
<li>should be easy</li>
<li>should not involve programming</li>
</ul>
