OT: Rakudoc: Another markup language of possible interest

Hello Lout community,

I'm posting some links to the rakudoc markup language,
which was developed in parallel with raku, the sister
language to perl now standing on its own.

In addition to its own formatting capabilities, rakudoc can
use plugin renderers to handle blocks of various types
of markup, for example Latex for formulas.

Rakudoc currently has renderers for output to plain text,
markdown and html. The renderers do require the raku
language to process. This architecture seems possible to
call out to lout as one of the formatters. That's hand-wavy
speculation, but nevertheless perhaps of interest.
