In 1958, Mahatma Gandhi was quoted as follows:

The Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need but not for every man's greed.

In The CommonMark Specification John MacFarlane writes:

What distinguishes Markdown from many other lightweight markup syntaxes, which are often easier to write, is its readability. As Gruber writes:

The overriding design goal for Markdown's formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. ( http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ )

The point can be illustrated by comparing a sample of AsciiDoc with an equivalent sample of Markdown. Here is a sample of AsciiDoc from the AsciiDoc manual:

1. List item one.
+
List item one continued with a second paragraph followed by an
Indented block.
+
.................
$ ls *.sh
$ mv *.sh ~/tmp
.................
+
List item continued with a third paragraph.

2. List item two continued with an open block.
...

The quotation includes an embedded quotation and a code quotation and ends with an ellipsis due to being incomplete.

Now let's have an indented code block:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    printf("# hello markdown\n");
    return 0;
}

and end with a fenced code block:

#include <something.h>
#include <else.h>

a block {
    a statement;
    another statement;
}
