Gaiden
Documentation tool that builds HTML pages from Markdown files, written in Groovy.
kobo.github.io/gaiden/repositorydocs
Gaiden is a documentation tool that turns Markdown files into HTML pages, written in Groovy. A project holds the Markdown pages next to two Groovy configuration files, one for settings and one for the list of pages. The build command writes the HTML pages and static resources to a build directory, and dist zips the HTML files.
Gaiden runs on a Java SE installation, as the getting started guide states. The guide also describes a wrapper script that downloads Gaiden when a project’s command first runs, so Gaiden need not be installed first.
