> The "markdown" syntax for marking up text is something which the {{mvn site}}
> build can be set up to support alongside the existing APT formatted text.
> Markdown offers many advantages
> # It's more widely understood.
> # There's tooling support in various text editors (TextMate, an IDEA plugin
> and others)
> # It can be directly rendered in github
> # the {{.md}} files can be named {{.md.vm}} to trigger velocity
> preprocessing, at the expense of direct viewing in github
> feature #3 is good as it means that you can point people directly at a doc
> via a github mirror, and have it rendered.
> I propose adding the options to Maven to enable content be written as {{.md}}
> and {{.md.vm}} files in the directory {{src/site/markdown}}. This does not
> require any changes to the existing {{.apt}} files, which can co-exist and
> cross-reference each other.
