TeX is effectively a programming language, LaTeX just the most common extension.

I doubt Pandoc is reimplementing Tex and only reading the code...

But who knows where the line is drawn.

Yes, that's why I mentioned already the lightweight formats.

All these solutions might create an ePUB in the end.

But could heavily vary on the features supported. Like chapter structure and TOC, etc...
