I don't know, Chris, that seems like a bit of a sledgehammer to crack
a nut, IMHO.

Markdown is just fancy text files.

A wiki means:
- different markup
- in-browser editing
- cooperative editing, reverts, previewing etc.
- edit history
- (very limited) version control
- (optionally) user logins & tracking

And ISTM suddenly you can't readily just edit the files locally.

All Bo wanted was to see files the same if loaded via http: / https:/ as file:
