*Markdown* files use the [markdown syntax](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax), a very easy way to add typographical enhancements in your texts. The `/resources` directory contains various markdown files, prefixed with a ordered number: Just add/modify markdown files in it: they will generate links in the navigation bar of your website.

Just start creating your own markdown files in the `./resources` directory, and your website is up.

[Markdown philosophy reminder](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#philosophy): "A Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions."

Anyway, you can mix html, inline-css (even if it's bad) & markdown between html tags, using a `markdon="1"` html attribute (see muffin.md page in this demo).

Design: The website uses the latest version of [Twitter Bootrap](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap); you can tweak it easely, following the Bootstrap documentation. Gears: Silexmarkdown project makes use of [php-markdown library](http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown) & the [Silex Markdown Service Provider](https://github.com/ronanguilloux/SilexMarkdownServiceProvider)
