+rdoc2md+ is a utility for converting Rdoc style documents into markdown. The primary motivation is to make a Hoe gem project more github friendly. Hoe depends on a README.txt file in Rdoc format. Github expects a README.md file to display nicely on the webpage. This utility lets you make the .txt file the master and autogenerate the .md version without Repeating Yourself. Incidentally, if you are reading this on github, this README was produced by +rdoc2md+. Kinda meta, eh?
