Markless is a new markup standard that focuses on being intuitive and fast to parse. Being a purely text-based markup, no complicated editor software is required to create documents in it. With its focus on intuition and consistency it should also be a good fit as a markup choice for text based platforms such as chat, forums, etc. Markless does not specify its results based on another document format, meaning that an implementation could be written to turn a Markless document into practically any other format. Markless is strict and does not allow for any ambiguities in its markup. This both makes it less confusing for the user, and easier to parse for a program. Being based on a specification rather than a reference implementation, Markless also offers the users a much more stable and reliant source to turn to in case of questions about the behaviour of an implementation.
