If you have visited github, bitbucket or use stash you may have encountered README.md files which primarily are used for project documentation but folks are getting creative with creating entire markdown sites. These files are based on markdown which is a text to html converter. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML. It is pretty slick and easy to use so below are a few plugins to your current development stack.
