    Did you checkout the asciidoc format? It’s close to what you are doing but with way more options (table of content, tables, indexes, glossaries, sidebars, internal links, etc). It got you covered for lots of stuff.

  3. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
    Have you checked out obsidian.md? It’s a note taking utility based on markdown files. If you’re happy to use markdown to write your drafts, it’s pretty slick. When it comes time to produce a “real” document you could use pandoc to convert those files into a more expressive format that you could tweak as needed.

    I was going to recommend Typora, which is a minimalist markdown text editor which I've been using for last couple years. It auto generates the outline and is a pleasure to work in... however, it seems that since I jumped onto it it became a paid software :/.
