HTML is super human readable if you stick to a subset of it.

It's arguable even more readable.

<b>bold</b> <i>italic</i> <u>underline</u>

I can never remember how many stars and ticks correspond to what in markdown.

Oddly enoght those are now called the "bring attention to" element [1], the "idiomatic text" lement [2], and the "unarticulated annotation" element.

Most editors format and highlight markdown syntax as bold, italic or strike through, but I have never seen the same thing for html. They only highlight the html-specific parts leaving the content unstyled.
