Convert Markdown to nice HTML/PDF/...

The GreatPractices documentation is written using Markdown.
Moreover root Makefile of the project converts Markdown content to HTML and PDF files (using pandoc).
Command make help describes the available possibilities.

Empowering pandoc

The root Makefile enhances Markdown conversion:

1. Embeds local images in HTML but keep outside extrernal images (i.e. for http:// URL)
2. Keep links between Markdown pages when converting to HTML/PDF
3. Convert ASCII diagrams into nice images

This third feature is ditaa-markdown which depends on ditaa0_6b.jar, DitaaEps.jar, epstopdf, dot and rdfdot.

Examples of diagrams

Work in progress:

• ditaa
• dot
• rdfdot
