Zoem is an interpreter for an interpretive language which is called,
as things go, zoem. The pair of them was created by Stijn van Dongen.
From the Zoem User Manual:
Zoem is an interpretive macro language with substantial facilities for
programming. It supports a two-stage process, consisting of macro
interpretation (featuring inside-out evaluation if needed), followed by a
simple and powerful application of stream character filtering.
Its syntax is remindful of \it{TeX}'s, it has dictionary stacks like
\it{PostScript}, and various resemblances to \it{m4} and \it{info}. It
has interfaces to modules making life easy \- counters, references,
arithmetic, multi-dimensional data storage, input/output operations,
regular expressions, and system commands.
Zoem is used for creating extendible dummy mark-up languages and mapping
those to real mark-up languages. The dummy languages have all the power
of the zoem primitives available to them. A prime application is the
creation of little mark-up languages that allow easy preparation of
documents for use with different devices. Two examples are the zoem
\bf{faq} language and the zoem \bf{man} language, both of which
can be used to generate troff output and html output.
The version tag, which is of the form dd-ddd, encodes the year and
day in year in which the distribution was made. So 02-058 encodes the
58-th day of the year 2002.
