There’s also the mature and reliable Org-mode, if you don’t mind Emacs as an editor.

  Does org-mode have a spec? From what I've seen, org-mode is defined as whatever Emacs does. Without a spec I can't see how it's a viable format for widespread usage.

    Org-mode has all three of: 1. Spec, written after the fact, not by a core dev. 2. Live help in 'org-info'. 3. Elisp string extraction via 'M-x describe-function' and the like. Difficulties arise from subtle inconsistencies between the three, and inability of any one to comprehend the kitchen-tool-bin jumble of low- and high-level functionality that has been added over the years. OTOH, content display is economical of eye and finger effort, and some of the Emacs interaction features startingly powerful. I wrote my own, use-case specific converter to expand org-format to HTML. Runs on the CL, written in Go.

      There is a Neovim "fork" of org mode that defined a spec for their format (which differs somewhat from org mode though)
