kramdown-man is a markdown to man page converter, using the pure-Ruby kramdown markdown library. kramdown-man seeks to support the majority of markdown syntax and roff tags. Unlike ronn or md2man, kramdown-man does not depend on any C extensions, and supports JRuby.

Kramdown exposes the full Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of the markdown document. This makes it very easy to write markdown Converters.
