Completely different system -> http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net

. Uses wiki-ish markup -> http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/sample.t2t
. Renders to html, xhtml, sgml, tex, man, mgp, moin, pm6, txt.
. Windows version available.
. Cool, it's in Debian testing -> http://packages.debian.org/txt2tags

I haven't used it, but a smart open-source java project I like
(http://picocontainer.org) is starting to write a book in it. So it
might be interesting.
