Syntext is a lightweight, markdownish markup language for generating HTML. This implementation is written in Python and can be used as both a command line utility and an importable library.
Syntext inherits much of its basic syntax from Markdown:
This is a paragraph containing *emphasised* and **strong** text.
It also contains `code` in backticks.
This is a second paragraph containing a [link](http://example.com).
Syntext differs from Markdown in supporting an extensible, indentation-based syntax for generating arbitrary HTML:
:div .outer
:div .inner
This is a paragraph.
Syntext also includes out-of-the-box support for tables, tables-of-contents, definition lists, syntax highlighting, and footnotes.
See the documentation for details.
