Rendering lightweight markup languages with maven

Question

I would like to render project documentation in html from a lighweight markup language like markdown or textile. What's easiest way to do this?

Answer 1

The maven site plugin is able to render the APT format ("Almost Plain Text") to build html for the project (documentation) site.

@See:
