Have a look at Markdown.

Markdown source is plaintext that looks like email and Does What
You Mean. If you need more elaborate markup than the constructs
it supports you just write HTML straight into the document.
Publishing code snippets is trivial too, if you use one of the
code constructs (quoting with backticks if it’s inline or
indenting by 4 spaces or a tab if it’s a block) it escapes all
your angle brackets for you.

Really, it is about as close to non-hateful as HTML authoring
tools can get.
