Text markup for .azw

Hello

I've been experimenting with sending documents to my Kindle 3 via my ...@kindle.com and I noticed that Amazon uses some sort of markup to format a text document in the .azw file it sends you.

For example,

Quote:
*single asterisks*

_single underscores_

#single hashes#

1. Bird
2. McHale
2. Parish

* Red
* Green
* Blue

- Red
- Green
- Blue
will be formatted to
Quote:
single asterisks
single underscores
single hashes
  1. Bird
  2. McHale
  3. Parish
    • Red
    • Green
    • Blue
      • Red
      • Green
      • Blue
It does not automatically format the text "Chapter 1" as a chapter start.
It also does nothing with basic html tags such as <b>bold</b> <i>italics</i>.

Does anyone know what markup the Amazon conversion service uses and where I can find a full list of formatting marks?

Thanks

Joel
