ConTeXt[1] is monolithic typesetting software that I've integrated into my Markdown editor[2]. I find ConTeXt allows for a complete separation of content and presentation. This makes it possible to write a novel in Markdown and produce various styles: a formatted PDF and a manuscript PDF. See the themes output in the screenshots[3]. Too bad the authors didn't evaluate LuaTeX or ConTeXt.

Just for keenwrite, from the screenshot: https://keenwrite.com/images/screenshots/05.png, seems that keenwrite doesn't implement Knuth Plass line breaking algorithm?
