Tagging "to-do"s and colouring text in Markdown

Martin Lehmann

I'm using the GitHub flavoured Markdown on the GitHub wiki, and would like to somehow "tag" paragraphs in need of rewriting or elaboration.

My first thought was to write some kind of note above the paragraph and colour that note red (or any colour besides black, really) for quick recognition, but it appears that Markdown does not support colouring text. I'm already using bold to emphasise other things, so I would like to avoid using that.

I realise a similar question (Semantic tagging in Markdown) has been asked previously, but that did not deal with to-do tags. I guess what I'm really looking for is a way of doing this based on someone else's experience as there is no specific syntax for accomplishing what I'm trying to do.

Two questions, then:

1) Why doesn't Markdown support colouring text?

2) Is there any semantically correct way of "tagging" a to-do in a Markdown wiki? If not: any suggestions?

As-is, Markdown is meant to be more of a replacement syntax for a language such as HTML and, for the most part, doesn't determine any styling for content.

If you want to "tag" something as a to-do item, you could make a line linking to an itemized task list on its own separate to-do page.
