Lightweight markup language for Coldfusion

Question

Is there a Lightweight markup language similar to the one I'm typing in that converts * to italics and ** to bold that works with coldfusion? or even a simpler version, that's just a list of regex rules and does that basics, like convert link markup to the a proper anchor?

Answer 1
