The only thing that keeps me using rdoc instead of markdown for most of my project documents is the lack of aligned labelled lists. e.g.

```
Label1:: Some description of label 1.
Label2:: Some description of label 2.
```

In RDoc this produces a two-column table, with a special class so in can be distinguished from regular tables. Usage is not uncommon, for example: https://github.com/jimwise/rulog/blob/master/README.rdoc. I use it myself in COPYING.rdoc files, e.g. https://github.com/rubyworks/ansi/blob/master/COPYING.rdoc.

I would really like to see markdown support something comparable, if not the exact same syntax.
