You may want to have a look at docutils, http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

"Docutils is an open-source text processing system for processing
plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML or LaTeX. It
includes reStructuredText, the easy to read, easy to use,
what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup language."

reStructuredText handles TOC, headings, lists, tables. The markup
is such that the original text can be easily read as a plain text.

reStructuredText is used for the Python documentation.

I am using docutils and reStructuredText in a moinmoin wiki and find
it very useful.
