Hi 

To support the publication in pdf and html directly, plus let people not to 
bother about latex, 
I would really to experiment the following for the next chapters of books.
I do not know well markdown but I would like to know if the following makes 
sense.

        I would like to see if we can use markdown (plus some extensions for in 
text annotation, figure definition)
        as pivot language and to be able to generate latex and html from it.

From a simple analysis of current chapter here are the needs:

structure
        title (with ref)
        section (with ref) 
        subsection
        paragraph
        itemize/enumerate
        code snippet (with ref)
        figure with caption and ref

inside a text area
        link
        code 
        index
        comment for editor
        citation
        reference

I probably miss some of them but this is the core and we can reduce the number 
from the latex stand point. 
What do you think? Does markdown support the item above. 
Is the petitMarkdown parser working? Because I would like to write a visitor 
that generates the latex we use for the book.  

I would like to use Zinc documentation as a test.
