title: markup or RTF? in (ASP).NET with C#
body: <p>I am developing a site and i would like some simple markup. I would need to keep the users newlines (easy enough replace \n with <br> or use pre), a way to allow links and perhaps bold.</p>
  
  <p>Would it be best to use a markup or to use RTF? i was thinking maybe i want special characters like :username: to create a link to a user or maybe :icon-username: to display a link and the avatar of the user. Maybe other things like that.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a good markup lib i can use or should i find something that allows the user to write in RTF and run a pass before displaying it to output links/new icons and etc?</p>
  
  <p>What libs do you guys like and think i should use?</p>
