+## Using Markdown
+
+Static pages can be edited using markdown by creating a index.mdwn file in the appropriate subdirectory (e.g. ./fun/index.mdwn) and running 'make wikipages'. Note that the .mdwn files should have the ```<!--#include...``` lines in place, everything else being regular markdown. It is a requirement to have the python-markdown package installed to run 'make wikipages'. To add this functionality to new pages, edit the Makefile. Also note that the index.html in those directories would be generated from the mdwn file and should not be edited directly.
