-MultiMarkdown seems to provide much of what we currently need and may want in
-the future: cross references, footnotes, tables, and PDF rendering (though this
-can be done with Markdown as well using Pandoc). Why don't we just use that to
-do all our work for us?
-
-The cross references (hyperlinks to sections) only work within a single
-document. We want policy manuals to have a chapter/appendix per document (e.g.
-HTML file). MultiMarkdown doesn't really support hyperlinks to sections in
-other documents. So while MMD might be nice for its other features, it looks
-like we should still handle in-book hyperlinks with our own pre-processing.
-
-Then why don't we just use normal hyperlinks to sections in different chapters?
-This assumes we're outputting documents only in HTML. We would have source text
-like this:
-
- See [Library Packages](binpkgs.html#librarypackages) for more information.
-
-Rendering a plain text file that refers to other plain text files with a ".html"
-extension makes no sense. Additionally, this fails to work in the case of PDF
-rendering.
