Jupyter Notebooks (http://www.jupyter.org) implement both regular and
github flavored markdown. And LaTeX support for math and stuff.

http://jupyter.cs.brynmawr.edu/hub/dblank/public/Jupyter%20Notebook%20Users%20Manual.ipynb

Not surprising it supports LaTex, as Jupyter notebook is a practical
"literate programming" platform, another Don Knuth concept. Combine this
with the bash kernel for jupyter (or any of the other 50+ languages it
supports
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-other-languages)
and you can do not only a computational narrative, but you can use it to
publish a book (http://jeroenjanssens.com/2015/02/19/ibash-notebook.html),
with code and output that was actually tested. Reproducible stuff.
