Caption: Minimal markup for simple text (Wikipedia style) and
  documentation.
Description: Nicetext bundle offers “minimal” markup syntax for various
  simple kinds of text.  The code you type should involve little more
  than is printed, and you still get LaTeX quality.
The bundle provides four packages:
*'wiki' addresses general texts, marked up in the simple style
  used on Wikipedia;
*'niceverb' is yet another means of documenting LaTeX packages: it
  offers syntax-aware typesetting of meta-variables (macro arguments)
  and for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section
  titles etc.;
*'fifinddo' aims to parse plain text or (La)TeX files using TeX,
  and to write the results to an external file.  This generalises the
  philosophy behind docstrip: the package aims at practical application,
  and is used by
*'makedoc', which provides the means to typeset package files.
