Markdown

A minimal, least powerful Plain text-based markup language.

Markdown is a good example that demonstrates the power of good documentation. What makes the markdown is probably not the reference implementation, but its documentation (specification): https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

Markdown is minimal, simple, readable as it is, and extensible.

See Atwood’s law and The Rule of Least Power.
