Thanks for the pointer. I find the documentation pretty resistant to a quick lookover, read "The Scribble Syntax at a Glance" and be afraid. However I see that it does support centered text, intentional line breaks and -- unique among LMLs to my knowledge -- right-aligned text spans ("margin-note" command) which could be used for poetry line numbers, stage directions, and sidenotes. Now... if there was a Pandoc reader for it...

The thing is a scribble doc is not markup. It is code. (This is one of the beautiful things about lisp.) So if you want the "syntax", all you need to know is this - @animal[bowow "meow"]{Various sounds animals make} translates to (animal bowow "meow" "Various sounds animals make") The rest are just libraries of code that render these resultant data structures in various ways. When writing documents, this programmability is very powerful. If you don't need too much programmability, but would occasionally like to have it, "org mode" on emacs is fantastic. (I wrote my Ph.D. thesis in org mode and I also use it to track tasks.)
