I've been looking for a plaintext format for formulas that is both a markup language and a logical encoding that can be evaluated. AsciiMath seems focused on the markup part, but I had never heard of it before and it looks promising for those purposes.
Combining it with Markdown to replace LaTeX is a great idea. I love LaTeX but there are many pain points.
Needing both latex and pandox installed for this to work does seem like it kind of goes against the idea of a simple format to replace the bloat of latex.
