scdoc uses syntax that is almost markdown https://man.archlinux.org/man/scdoc.5.en

scdoc is a great tool. It's written by Drew DeVault (sourcehut) and works great, I've used it in a couple of projects.

Here's the blog entry[1] where he talks about the rationale for writing the tool.

The page mentions that it is inspired by Markdown, but is not actually Markdown because it was designed for HTML.

I'm glad to see more projects in this space.

Asciidoc as well.

I don't think either pandoc or Asciidoc will have the semantic info that Kramdown-man has, which will be converted to the correct roff tags?
