Hello,

  welcome back to the Ruby Advent Calendar 2017 [1] - 25 Days
of Ruby Gems / Libraries from December 1 to December 25.

  Let's continue the series on Day 15 with the kramdown [2] library /
gem and command line tool. Turn easy-to-read and easy-to-write
(structured) plain text
with "lite" markup formatting conventions in markdown into web pages
or latex typesetting documents.

  Welcome to the future of writing :slight_smile: - structured documents in plain
text with "lite" markup
formatting conventions in markdown for paragraphs, headings, bullet
lists, numbered lists,
code blocks, links and much more.

  Thanks to Thomas Leitner for publishing more than 50+ releases since
2009 - leading to
today's version 1.16+ and more than 10 million downloads.

  Happy writing & publishing. Cheers.

PS: You're more than welcome to send in your articles (about your
library / gem of choice) too!
