This is a simple Markdown to object model to XHTML system.
import com.tristanhunt.knockoff.DefaultDiscounter._
toXHTML(knockoff("""# My Markdown Content """))
You can use the blocks returned from the knockoff method to do useful things, like fetch the header:
val blocks = knockoff("""# My markdown""")
blocks.find( _.isInstanceOf[Header] ).map( toText ).getOrElse( "No header" )
See the home page for more information: http://tristanjuricek.com/knockoff.
