Huh? There are lines with
* Overview
...
** Linux host drivers
...
in that file, sure. But I'd hardly call that "loaded to the gills
with markup crap".
If the file was had any amount of XML or XHTML2, that would be markup
crap. But some Twiki style ascii markup is hardly a problem -- it
looks just fine when viewed in a text reader.
