MarkdownServer for ASP.net.

What it is: Markdown as Markup Application Server for ASP.Net.

Using it is as simple as importing the Nuget package and adding builder.AddMarkdownServer() to ConfigureServices and app.UseMarkdownServer() in Configure. Or just place this in Program.cs for C# 10:

builder.AddMarkdownServer();

//....

app.UserMarkdownServer();

Current Features:

• Serve Markdown file URLs which are rendered through a default layout.html or specify the layout in the YAML front matter.
• Include Markdown files using the #include() tag in Markdown, or by adding MDS-Inclue-"" attribute to a block tag in the layout HTML file.
• Create forms and form elements with a simple syntax in Markdown.
• Front-Matter variables can be displayed with #(variable) in the Markdown or layout HTML.
• Link directly to Markdown documents, which also be rendered in the HTML layout.

Example

---
Title: Page Title
DefaultValue: This is default.
Layout: Shared/layout.html
---

<!-- from front matter -->
# $(Title) 

<!-- simple POST form -->
!form#myForm({action=result.md},{method=post},{class="form-group"})
!label({for=txtBox}):Search
<!-- user variables in forms -->
!input#txtBox({class="form-element"}):$(DefaultValue)
!button({type=submit}):Go!
!/form

Planned Features before release:

• Code-behind for C# to handle form posts.
• Object model and opinionated application design patterns.
