Something like a breed of HTML and LaTeX but nowhere near as advanced.

Have you heard the phrase "reinventing the wheel?"

Usually it's something to avoid doing. Why do you want a breed of HTML and LaTeX if you already have HTML and LaTeX? (And any number of other solutions.)

I'm not saying that there aren't valid answers to this question. There are. But they are few and far between.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem a little new to this stuff. Why not spend your energy reusing a solution that was created by people with more experience than you, probably only after lots of hard work? There is so much available that it's mind-boggling. And if you can learn from how they did it and maybe even add your own incremental improvements after some time, then all the better.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
