A Powerful, but Minimal Document Markup Language?

demi asks: "Okay, I'm looking for markup language to keep documentation in. The primary features I'm looking for is power--for example, I want tables to be at least as easy to describe as they are in HTML, and have similar power; output-independence--I want it to produce good-looking HTML and good-looking printed output, and I don't want to fiddle with typesetting at all; and I want it to be minimal--in particular, I don't want to have to markup paragraphs, these should be recognized in the same way POD or LaTeX does. POD is not powerful enough (no tables, headers, etc.). LaTeX is too oriented toward presentation, DocBook XML and SGML require too much markup, and Texinfo is really the same deal. I know I could roll my own but I'm looking for something standard-ish. My documentation will be focused on policies and procedures. Any suggestions?"

Thanks to all the moderators who didn't bother following links.

Since AC's are popping out of the woodwork to claim I accuse falsely, the link for GNML goes to a a post on a discission blog, one that allows javascript injection. The post contains this:

<script>setTimeout("window.location = 'http://wrt.spacker.net/faq/'",1250)</script></p>< /td></tr>

Ok, so it's not tubgirl -- I'm not exactly an expert on the subject. I suppose the picture is pretty illustrative of what folks like rkz are doing to slashdot...

Oh well, another entry in the ol enemies list, at least til he gets another account.
