GitHub supports several lightweight markup languages for documentation; the most popular ones (generally, not just at GitHub) are Markdown and reStructuredText. Markdown is sometimes considered easier to use, and is often preferred when the purpose is simply to generate HTML. On the other hand, reStructuredText is more extensible and powerful, with native support (not just embedded HTML) for tables, as well as things like automatic generation of tables of contents.

I was thinking of a way to generate HTML without using strings as embedding strings in Javascript is a pain if they are multi-lined. There isn't a nice triple quote like there exists in Python.
So I took my inspiration from Lisp HTML generators that use S-expressions to generate HTML. I thought, hell, S-expressions are just a bunch of nested lists, I could do the same thing in Javascript.
