No there aren't. I am looking at the README right now. It is nearly blank.
It has two lines on installation, one line on project status, and two
sentences on "contributing and questions". The second of those sentences
has a link to the issues page.

I don't want to be rude, but the README file of a documentation package
should have at least as much documentation as the README files of other
non-documentation Julia packages. It is normal in Julia packages to have
documentation in the README, often including a link to more detailed
documentation in readthedocs.org or similar.


One bit of constructive criticism for the documentation: in the features
list, you should state what markup language you are using. Is it Markdown?
Probably, but that's something that should be stated explicitly. Maybe add
some examples showing the use of Markdown.

Cheers,
Daniel.
