    CMark is CommonMark implementation based on the C reference, which is a rationalized version of the Markdown syntax coming with the spec.
    I use GNU make. Write content in markdown, feed it to <a href="https://github.com/commonmark/cmark">https://github.com/commonmark/cmark</a> to create html. I intended to splice files together using xslt but echo and cat written in the makefile sufficed. I'm not totally sure I'd recommend that but I do like the markdown => html flow.
