The APT format (Almost Plain Text) is a simple markup language (like HTML) than can be used to write simple article-like documents (like HTML). Unlike HTML, APT uses as few markup as possible to express the structure of the document.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/aptconvert/distrib/docs/userguide2.html#id.s2 and http://www.xmlmind.com/aptconvert.html

Aptconvert is a command-line tool that can be used to convert the APT format to HTML, XHTML, PDF, PostScript, (MS Word loadable) RTF, DocBook SGML and DocBook XML.

APT is very like the WikiMarkupLanguage

I like the fact that you can do alpha-numeric lists (outline-based lists). How easy would it be to modify the WikiML ordered list handler to be able to do this?
