MultiMarkdown

MultiMarkdown is a lightweight markup language created by Fletcher T. Penney as an extension of the Markdown format. It supports additional features not available in plain Markdown syntax.

There is also a text editor with the same name that supports multiple export formats.

The MultiMarkdown language adds the following features to the basic Markdown specification:

• footnotes
• tables
• citations and bibliography (works best in LaTeX using BibTeX)
• math support
• automatic cross-referencing ability
• smart typography, with support for multiple languages
• image attributes
• table and image captions
• definition lists
• glossary entries (LaTeX only)
• document metadata (e.g. title, author, date, etc.)

There are a series of open-source interactive and automated software tools for editing and conversion to XML, HTML, and LaTeX that share the same name as the format. Several other open-source and commercial text editors, such as Scrivener, also include broad MultiMarkdown support.
