Thanks for any pointers,

What about LaTeX? It's been a few decades since I've used it, but it did use
" \<command> " (backslash-command).
Yes, but it also has arguments or other stuff in curly braces, and I don?t see those
here.

It's not TeX of any sort. I don't know what it is, but having used it a lot over
the past decade, I'm pretty sure it's not. Close, but that's not how it takes
parameters to commands, and there are a few other inconsistencies.

OK .. Looking at my old code I see a lot of curly braces, but I don't remember how
far you could go with the macro syntax, or how much LaTeX differed from TeX.
