In any case, it seems that the best way to accomplish my goal is to convert all of my text files to markdown and my brace-delimited blocks into indented blocks. The only method I can think of is to write a regexp and tediously pick through my files searching and replacing, then saving each one as markdown. Unless anyone else has a better suggestion..?

You could start with something like this awk script to do the indentation:

#!/usr/bin/awk -F $0 ~ "^}" { indent="" } { print indent, $0 } $0 ~ "{$" { indent=" " }

It indents by four spaces, leaves the braces in the text and can't handle nested blocks, but it's a start :-)
