Ah. I was wondering if maybe I wasn't being clear. Sorry.

This has little if any impact on the output. That would be exactly the same 
as it is now. The markdown is only acting as an initial format. It gets 
transformed into HTML/XML. Then with a few additional rules (e.g. `p` == 
`para`) this is then transformed by the same means that have been used 
(docbook) or you are working on (Ruby). It's no different. The markdown is 
just another layer to top to make the source formats more human friendly. 
(Which, after all, is what markup formats like markdown are all about).

I hope that clarifies things.
