MultiMarkdown is a lightweight markup language created by Fletcher T. Penney as an extension of the Markdown format. It supports additional features not available in plain Markdown syntax.
There is also a text editor with the same name that supports multiple export formats.
File format description The MultiMarkdown language adds the following features to the basic Markdown specification: footnotes tables citations and bibliography (works best in LaTeX using BibTeX) math support automatic cross-referencing ability smart typography, with support for multiple languages image attributes table and image captions definition lists glossary entries (LaTeX only) document metadata (e.g. title, author, date, etc.)
Software There are a series of open-source interactive and automated software tools for editing and conversion to XML, HTML, and LaTeX that share the same name as the format. Several other open-source and commercial text editors, such as Scrivener, also include broad MultiMarkdown support.
