Only in one text-type book I made a few years ago. <h6> was just an example to show that markdown isn't what I consider "easier". It's just a different language that the author would need to learn. As Hitch stated - the author would have to keep trying to remember what the codes were when typing. Is bold one or two asterisks??? Where they could just use a "b" for bold and never forget.
Of course, the author could just have a cheat sheet taped to the side of the monitor showing what all the markdown would be for each different case...but it seems like it would be just as difficult while "proofreading" to keep looking at the sheet to remember what *** meant.
Alternately, the cheat sheet could simply have:
<p> - paragraph
<b> - bold
<i> - italics
<h1-6> - header
<blockquote> - blockquote
And they would be done... especially when they could use a simple tool that automagically added a new <p></p> when you hit the enter key, or added the appropriate tags around a highlighted word or phrase with the push of a button
