Philosophy

In the beginning, all you want is results.

In the end, all you want is control.

markBook single purpose is to transform Markdown documents to HTML documents. As such, it should be easy for someone to download markBook, run a command, and get quickly from Markdown to a presentable HTML document. Later, if the user wants to extend his HTML somehow, there shouldn't be tons of configuration necessary for him to read.

  • Explicit over implicit
  • Keep the core small
  • Use plugins to extend behavior
