==========

> A .NET wrapper for (with win32 port of) [sundown][], the [markdown][] library

libsundown.dll (included) is required for linkage. Also included is a simple console app for executing upskirt against markdown files.

MoonShine is at least 20x faster than [MarkdownSharp][] when run against MarkdownSharp's own benchmark app.
