Asciidoctor: http://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-writers-guide/ http://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-writers-guide/ . There are forthcoming plans to include a LaTeX backend (https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/681 https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/681 ), but it can already output to HTML and Docbook, which can in turn output to other formats including PDF. There's also MathJax-based equation support for the HTML5 backend: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/492 https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/492 . Obviously the big step is for it to be able to output LaTeX so that the equation capabilities and such will be directly exposed, but Asciidoc is pretty awesome already in my experience.
