In the future you can either surround content you don’t want parsed in backticks (`stuff you don’t want parsed` = stuff you don't want parsed), or put it into a code block like so:
```
content you don’t want parsed
```
If you want only a certain tag to not be parsed, you can prefix it with a backslash like so \*this won't be italic\* (*this won’t be italic*)
The backslash escaping one actually makes more sense than how noparse tag is used and won’t break the illusion of the appearance of the text like a code tag would, so if you can make it happen like you described it’d be superior to both the current noparse and the mentioned code tag :+1:

Existing posts will (ideally) look 1:1 the same, that is if my converter is good enough.
 
New posts will have to be written in new syntax, but the buttons on top of the text editor will help you do that without worrying about remembering all the syntax rules.
 
If you do wish to worry about learning the syntax rules, you can check out this page (draft).

Goodbye guys ;)
Not familiar with Markdown but sounds exciting. Looking forward to seeing the new format enabled. :)

A small thing: code blocks are supposed to be treated as plain text, but the Textile converter is still running within them.
 
Underscores _ _ _ turn into asterisks: *em*  
Tildes ~ ~ ~ turn into percent signs: %sub%

Go fsck yourself
It might be interesting to see what happens to some old, syntax-heavy Textile messages when they’re converted, especially with the way asterisks and underscores are handled in [gfm] Markdown, nevermind tildes and brackets. It seems that even Markdown doesn’t have…well, I was going to say “consistent” behavior, but I think their decision to allow asterisks OR underscores to do the same things in many instances was a horrible mistake. However, I have faith that Princess Celestia will watch over us, as always, and at worst, we might see some unintended bold and italicized text; none of the original meaning should be lost, if ya think about it. :3

Ah ha! Now it’s thickerand italicized! 😛  

EDIT: PLUS HORIZONTAL RULES!!!

 
 
For those needing a cheat-sheet, there’s one here, in addition to the GFM documentation (this page could’ve been more user-friendly by showing examples, instead of or in addition to the side-by-side Markdown & HTML comparisons), and Markdown’s basic and extended syntax pages.
 
Now to make a burnt sacrifice to the syntax gods.

Will this change how the tags are used? Like how we currently use “applejack,farm,safe”, but on some other sites it would be “applejack farm safe”?

@Princess Celestia  
I thought they were going to close the web page but reading this well they imply that they are only going to update the text engine of the page and that the one they currently use is becoming obsolete and they are going to replace it with a better and more updated esepro that it works and that it goes very well with that greetings and good luck

i believe they may be misunderstanding what was written in the original post
 
@k154  
markdown is not what makes these other apps bloated and slow. the only user-facing change after this transition should be the way you format text on it, changing to use a more simple and intuitive syntax, and nothing else. this doesn’t relate to bloat, that is a whole other issue
