jemdoc – light markup

jemdoc is a light text-based markup language designed for creating websites. It takes a text file written with jemdoc markup, an optional configuration file and an optional menu file, and makes static websites that look something like this one, that one or another one.

jemdoc was inspired by AsciiDoc, which is a text document format. AsciiDoc is great, and lots of the ideas from AsciiDoc are copied in jemdoc. The main differences are that jemdoc is simpler (you could say deliberately feature poor) and has more consistent syntax.

Goals

• Simple, consistent syntax.

• \(\mbox{\LaTeX}\) equation support.

• Table support.

• Portability. The (single) jemdoc Python file + single css file + your input file → html.

• Based on CSS so formatting specifics are independent of jemdoc.

• Production of clean, standards-compliant XHTML 1.1.

• Minimal bells and whistles, but simple fallback to raw html if required.
