Mara Markdown Documentation

Display markdown documentation in mara UI

This package displays configured documentation in markdown format in the UI:

• Convert markdown to html via markdown-it
• Supports a folder structure (single level) in the menu
• Supports mermaid diagrams
• Serves referenced images (.png, .jpg, .gif) in markdown and .txt files (for example config, etc) if these are in the same folder as the markdown file
