This is a lovely comment to read, thank you.

The only implementation of restructured text is the docutils-Sphinx ecosystem. MyST Markdown was designed as a nicer language for Markdown-familiar authoring: https://executablebooks.org/en/latest/blog/2020-08-07-announ...

In the myst-md project, we're applying many of the lessons that we learned in the Jupyter Book project. One of the big takeaways is that the tooling is equally as important as the underlying markup, and docutils/Sphinx was holding us back in a few areas.

If you like links within documents, take a look at embedding (https://mystmd.org/guide/embed) and cross-referencing (https://mystmd.org/guide/cross-references)
