I've had a similar idea and implemented it as a separate binary that manipulates
the markdown: https://mmark.miek.nl/post/markdown-filter/

This allows you to create pipelines, example one that uses a python program called
'protocol': https://github.com/mmarkdown/filter/tree/master/plugins/protocol

``` protocol
Source:16,TTL:8,Reserved:40
```
Figure: This is a protocol.

Will be transformed with `filter -p protocol < protocol.md | mmark -markdown`, to:

We describe the following protocol:

```
  0                   1                   2                   3
  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|             Source            |      TTL      |               |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+               +
|                            Reserved                           |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
```
Figure: This is a protocol.
