BookGen
Command-line toolchain that builds books, static websites, feeds and EPUB files from Markdown, written in C#.
BookGen is a command-line toolchain for writing books and documentation in Markdown. The manual lists the build commands, which write a static website, an EPUB 3 file, printable HTML and XHTML, a WordPress export XML, or RSS and Atom feeds.
Page templates use mustache-style tags. The README names a Scripting API and Node.js and Python scripts as ways to extend the tool.
Worth knowing
The README says it is designed to be cross platform, but the author mainly develops and tests it on Windows.
