Looks great, but I have a small quibble. Throughout the book, you have
used an en dash instead of an em dash, as here: “empty as a
church–till at last I got”. Might want to do a s/–/—/g & fix
that.
Cool work, though!

Hello,
As a showcase I've converted a good old Gutenberg plain text world
(literature) classic to markdown.
See the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson [1] as an example.
Next I've put together a static site theme that lets you basically
drop all chapters into a _chapters folder and you're done, that is,
you get a great looking online live (e)book.
See the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde live version (demo) [2]
thanks to GitHub Pages (with built-in - surprise, surprise - Jekyll
processing ;-))
And finally the ready-to-fork theme/template repo/source [3].
Anyone else tried to convert world classics to Markdown
for generating great looking books? Any insight appreciated.
Questions? Comments? Welcome.
Cheers.
