# mdconf

Markdown driven configuration!

Using the fantastic markdown parser [marked](https://github.com/chjj/marked).

- [Python port](https://github.com/hit9/mdconf.py)

## API

parse('string of markdown');
// => Object
```

## Example

Markdown headings act as keys, list items with `:` act as maps,
otherwise regular lists behave as.. lists.

Since this is markdown you can still have regular text
to explain what the hell is going on.

With markdown blocks you could easily use this as a tool for
static site generation:

```md

# Scripts

My site does almost nothing:

document.write('

mdconf

')
document.write('

Markdown configuration is pretty cool

')

# Styles

Main structural styling:

body {
padding: 50px;
font: 14px Helvetica;
}

Some other stuff:

button {
padding: 15px;
}
```

yields:

```js
{
"scripts": [
"document.write('

mdconf

')\ndocument.write('

Markdown configuration is pretty cool

')"
],
"styles": [
"body {\n padding: 50px;\n font: 14px Helvetica;\n}",
"button {\n padding: 15px;\n}"
]
}
```
