i am in the process of releasing "zen markup language".

it's "lighter" than all the other light-markup languages.

it's more _powerful_ than the others, including asciidoc.

it's also far more agile, and much easier to understand.

and i won't allow it to be fragmented, like markdown is.

i've coded converters in javascript and other languages.

the javascript minimizes well for inclusion in web-pages.

i have cross-plat apps, and a web-app converter with a.p.i.

output formats include .html, .epub, .mobi, .pdf, and more.

if there's anything i haven't thought of, do please tell me.

you can reach me at my e-mail address given in my profile.

I Looked at the site for z.m.l (http://www.z-m-l.com/). It doesn't seem to do math, so it's a nonstarter.

BTW, Pandoc (which does do LaTeX math) really needs no improvement, only more widespread implementation (e.g., an online site, and/or a chrome extension coded in javascript.) I suppose its being written in Haskell has been an impediment.
