Sounds fine!

BTW, a very good markdown interpreter is `pandoc', with many nice and
useful extensions – I use it to generate both the HTML and the LaTeX
documentation for ttfautohint.  This would be my favourite
markdown->HTML conversion program.

Another job would be to extend FreeType's current `docmaker' python
script suite to also spit out markdown (together with changing all
header comments to follow markup syntax).

In total, this is *a lot* of work – actually, it sounds like a GSoC
2018 project :-)
