Well, frankly speaking, I consider that XML simply sucks as authoring
format. I was playing with FOP several years ago and I'd never replace
it with TeX typesetting.

Well, reST is, imho, (similar to markdown), much more readable than XML
with all those brackets.

Maybe Creole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creole_(markup) )?

Baoqiu> These languages won't be lightweight and easy to read once they

I do not miss any feature in reST for my writing, the whole Python docs
is written with it and it is for me still much readable in 'source' form
than DocBook.

Baoqiu> That may require some code sharing/merging between rst.el and
Baoqiu> Org-mode, I guess.  :-)

Heh, I'm curious to know more about it. ;)


Sincerely,
Gour
