I agree that the language could be simplified for clarity.Removed the phrase "which is a plain text markup format" and simplified it to "a simple text formatting language" to make it clearer for non-technical readers.
Replaced "whether your masterpiece be" with "whether you're working on" to avoid the more complex, literary phrasing that might confuse non-native speakers or readers unfamiliar with such expressions.

I agree that language could be simplified for clarity. Replace "older" with "earlier" to make it sound more natural in this context . Replace "entering" with "running" as "running" is commonly used when referring to executing commands in a terminal.
