I've been down this rabbit hole a few times when trying to go from an orgmode document to something I can share with other people. Usually, the path took me via html and then to pdf.

My initial impression was that the opening sentence is underselling the project:

    Casual-Markdown-Doc provide a quick solution to use markdown as document.

I believe the word document is not clear here, for clarity's sake I would suggest expanding it to describe what are the potential outputs (... to use markdown directly as a ready to publish html website?)

underselling? thanks :) yes, it turn a markdown document into a nice-look html webpage (with TOC and scrollspy), by adding the following 4 lines at the beginning.

<!DOCTYPE html>

and it is a self-sufficient html file, which can be viewed in all browser （include IE9) from internet or local. (yes, local is also ok, u can even send by email, share by google drive, etc..)
