"NoMoreiTunes is an extension for Safari 5 which disables the script that tries to start iTunes when you visit a link to the iTunes Store."

The discussions of learned societies on the subject have been less than satisfactory, so I decided to just implement my own mark-up language, based on the venerable S-expression:

{b This} is {i {u expert} {o mark-up}}.

This will turn into:

This is expert mark-up.
