pandoc and ronn can also output roff man pages. Markdown is great for accessible, generic use without a need for special features. For special features or formatting, abstraction can be a hindrance. statamic, jekyll and such use YAML frontmatter for embedding metadata but it's not a full replacement for HTML or lossless HTML formats like slim, haml, pug, ace, macdom. I always need a cheatsheet when using roff or latex because they're too much to remember if you're not using it everyday.
