This is just a simple groovy script that takes a plain text file that is in a "sort-of" Markdown format and emits HTML that can then be used where needed.
I tried to use some java markdown processors and was not quite happy with what I found. Hence the need to create my own groovy script.
The intented purpose was just to use it for my own internal needs. I felt more comfortable writing blog posts and other documentations in Markdown and then translate them to HTML as needed.
