I'm sure some of everyone have experienced that the code examples 
in the documentation don't work.

With this tool, you can execute Markdown code directly and always 
validate it with CI.

```
dub run md -- README.md
```

The syntax of dlang is not affected by indentation, and `import` 
can be written anywhere, so it was a very simple mechanism to 
achieve this.

However, there may be a better way. If you found it, please try 
to create it.

I think dlang ❤ Markdown

Thank you for sharing.

If I have code that produces an image (eg .PNG) or another 
markdown block with an image.
Is there way to make it work within the overall input .MD document
(trying to think of  a way to create an 'active' document)
