Just to clarify, I'm well aware that there are many Markdown to HTML
converters out there, in many different languages, that's not the
question.  I was simply wondering if there was any code out there that
would take the of static markdown doc files and turn them into a
cohesive documentation site, like MooTool's uses on their site.

What I'm planning to do at this point is create a open source PHP
based clone of the Mootools docs system. And link it to Github, so
when there is a new commit to the docs, the PHP script will grab the
new docs, and re-index the documentation. That's the idea at least.

Take care!
