Change # to *?

Currently, judgements look like this:

# Theory: 0/50
## Question 1: 0/10
## Question 2: 0/20
## Question 3: 0/20

One suggestion is to change this to

* Theory: 0/50
** Question 1: 0/10
** Question 2: 0/20
** Question 3: 0/20

This would make remarks slightly more compatible with org-mode, making it slightly more wieldy for emacs users. However, .mrk files should be small, so folding/unfolding isn't expected to be in too great a demand.

The reason headers are written with # is to make files easy to grep. They are still easy to grep if we use * instead of #, since neutral comments must always be indented at least once.

Yes, switch to *. # makes me think of comments, not markup.

I tried to update a "real" file that is to be used for grading and using * for both headings and neutral item elements is confusing to look at. Too many stars. We should also change neutral elements then.

And # is used for titles in markdown

Let's close this for now.
