Jatdown: a markdown language for writing JATS - Journal Article Tag Suite Conference (JATS-Con) Proceedings 2016 - NCBI Bookshelf

The scholarly article document model is precisely which JATS addresses. JATS has a large and somewhat complex feature set and wide range of flexibility. This complexity and flexibility comes as a price of cognitive burden and potential incompatible interpretations of the tag set.

In this paper we will explore Jatdown , a Markdown variant that is designed for conversion to JATS. Jatdown provides a way to author JATS using a Markdown syntax that maps to a subset of the JATS document model.
