For md, there is pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/)

it converts a lot of format into a lot of other formats :)

- too many variation of markdown

- do not want to ask in haskell, ruby� to extend libraries

I do not get it

- markdown does not support references and other essential points for making decent books

What do you mean by "references and other essential points� ?

To me, markdown or pier is a new syntax to learn so I am asking �

To me, doing Pier because you do or because you said to is no really an argument.

Then I am open to a real answer but I also see that markdown is integrated to a lot of tools (github and jekylls by examples)

and that a lot of people knows about markdown.

This was a real question, not a troll ...

No seriously?

If you want to get an answer read the thread that yuri raised a while ago.
Because we already discussed discussed and discussed it.

I will not write any book in markdown. Now you can try and we see.

Stef, what is the advantages of writing it in Pier compared to markdown ?
