serving markdown directly : any suggestions?

[Mayuresh Kathe]

i did muse around with that approach, but, that's not what is expected 
for my use case.

i need the markdown content to be dynamically transformed to (x)html on 
the server.
this is to allow collaborators on the documentation to send in only diff 
files for corrections, additions, etc. which would be plain-text, which 
is easier to understand for non web (html + css) developers.

i guess i missed mentioning the project for which i am doing this, it is 
for the "openbsd faq".

this is just a test run, once i succeed, i intend to convert the entire 
"faq" to markdown, probably by hand, set up a server for the demo, 
before submitting it to the openbsd crowd for consideration.
