Quick Usage Guide

delorean offers only one function treeify, which generates a Python object from markup text. The object is a [treelib](https://github.com/caesar0301/treelib) Tree structure.

Take, for example, the following markdown file.

[[ chikin.md ]]

# Chikin Tales

Once there was a chikin.

## Chapter 1 : Chikin Fly

Chickens don't fly. They do only the following:

- waddle
- plop


### Waddling

A waddle is what these birds do.

## Chapter 2 : Chikin Scream

### Plopping

Plopping involves three steps:

1. squawk
2. plop
3. repeat, unless ordered to squat
