What's the best way to host mark down files as a website?

I noticed that all of Laravel's excellent documentation is stored as .md files at https://github.com/laravel/docs, but served from https://laravel.com/docs.

We are also working on creating documentation for our product. Does anybody know how Laravel converts their .md files to .html?

Thanks!

This will probably help you.

You can use the parse method to which you pass the md file content.

static HtmlString parse(string $text)

@magmatic Why not just use a static site generator like Jekyll if all you want to do is display Markdown as HTML?
