Asciidoc is a viable alternative. By now you have Asciidoctor in Ruby, AsciidoctorJ on JVM, Asciidoctor.js and even original Asciidoc Python recently rewritten

  We've been really happy with Asciidoc at work. We maintain multiple large versioned documents as a team and had been using Word and 'Track Changes' to do updates. We've now moved them entirely to Asciidoc and are using Git for tracking and approving changes, and the difference is night and day. We considered Markdown at the time, but things like numbered lists incorporating paragraphs, metadata inclusion, and the need to specify certain elements about the final published version meant that Asciidoc was a clear winner. To get all of those incorporated using Markdown would have meant implementing one of the Markdown dialects, and then ensuring that everyone's tool-chain that thought it spoke Markdown wouldn't then munge it to death.
