[Feature Request] 'djot' syntax markup (supported-ish by Pandoc).

[mcanouil]

Just dropping this here for discussion.

John MacFarlane, creator of pandoc and coauthor of the CommonMark spec, designed “Djot”. Published in July 2022, Djot is a new markup language that is similar to Markdown, but more principled in many ways. Parse and produce djot files with Pandoc via the #mcustom reader and custom writer included in the repository.

Djot is a light markup syntax. It derives most of its features from commonmark, but it fixes a few things that make commonmark's syntax complex and difficult to parse efficiently. It is also much fuller-featured than commonmark, with support for definition lists, footnotes, tables, several new kinds of inline formatting (insert, delete, highlight, superscript, subscript), math, smart punctuation, attributes that can be applied to any element, and generic containers for block-level, inline-level, and raw content. The project began as an attempt to implement some of the ideas I suggested in Beyond Markdown.
