Overview

This project attempts to render John Gruber's markdown format to PNG (or other image formats). The markdown syntax lives here.

Currently, it uses Python's PIL image library to render the results and python-markdown to parse markdown.

NOTE: This has only been tested on Python 2.6 so far...
