Markdown

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers, allowing you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

Althought I prefer for its table support and other niceties, makes for slightly more readable text when writing essays.
