Personally, I don't see much need for fossil to have built-in support for rendering anything much richer than its own wiki or the vanilla markdown we have now.

I happily use fossil as-is for storing writing projects. Lately I write in a combination of markdown and LaTeX (usually LuaLaTeX, specifically), using Pandoc to do the needed transformation and either replacing its stock template or supplying my own outer .tex file to assemble the finished product.

Don't forget there is Pandoc. ;)

I tried to like ASCIIDoc, but the whole FOP framework and its assumption that a giant Java application is ok just in my way too often. I do wish for finer control over tables and figures from time to time, so far I've done what I needed by at worst post-processing the TeX emitted by Pandoc and often just be dropping literal TeX in the markdown source.
