Blip-A

I'm looking for a lightweight markup language with a WYSIWYG editor, primarily for taking personal notes. I only require a few basic formatting constructs, primarily: headings, lists, and links.

My first choice would have been Markdown, but after trying several different editors with Markdown support, they all suffer from some common issues that disrupt the WYSIWYG experience, particularly the fact that they don't handle soft wrapping in a visually appealing way (for example, list items aren't wrapped to the appropriate level of indentation).

MarkText looked promising, but the project appears almost abandoned, and never had a stable release, so I'd be hesitant to use it for important documents.

On the other end of the spectrum there's Libreoffice Writer, which produces Open Document Format documents (which are just zipped XML files). However, this forces the user to deal with page breaks and style information, which is distracting and unnecessary for taking notes. It also produces unnecessarily large files because style information and settings must be stored.

Something like Zim Desktop Wiki is very close to what I'm looking for, but I don't particularly like how Zim handles file navigation.

My ideal editor would provide an experience similar to Libreoffice, except with no page breaks or style information. Perhaps I'm looking for a WYSIWYG HTML editor?

Can anyone suggest a markup language and editor that might fit my requirements?

Edit: To clarify, I would also settle for a Markdown editor that provides a similar visual experience to a WYSIWYG editor, such as proper soft wrapping for list items, while still displaying the actual markup syntax characters.

For those of you that use a custom domain name for your email address, how (if at all) do you make use of email aliases?

I've seen many people recommend to use a unique alias for each account (e.g. github@myname.com, reddit@myname.com, etc.) in order to mitigate spam, but I'm wondering if this is more trouble than it's worth. Are there any unexpected consequences of doing this? I would like to keep things as simple as possible.

I'm considering just having one alias for personal/professional correspondence, one alias for "trusted" accounts (i.e. services that I don't think are likely to sell/leak my email address to spammers), and one alias for less trusted accounts.

What do you guys use/recommend?
