asciidoc http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

very little markup (high signal to "tag" ratio)

can produce all sorts of output (HTML and PDF, for example)

I use the asciidoc -> docbook -> latex -> pdf chain for the most part.

Very flexible -- you can tweak things at the docbook or latex level if you really want to, but mostly it just works. Good stuff.

That's excellent! Thanks for the pointer.
