## Description

Markup is a tool for converting various documentation formats and manual pages into structured HTML. It functions as a rendering engine selector and converter that transforms raw markup files into web-ready output using a pluggable pipeline.

The system identifies the appropriate rendering engine by utilizing file extensions or analyzing document content through pattern-based language detection. This allows the pipeline to handle documents where file extensions are missing or ambiguous.

The project covers a broad range of content transformation, including the conversion of traditional man pages and the automation of documentation pipelines. It employs a strategy-based architecture to map diverse content types to specific HTML conversion engines.
