-- Server-side rendering of a repository's about page, named by the
-- about-filter setting in cgitrc and run inside cgit's embedded Lua
-- interpreter so a readme costs no extra process per request. Markdown, man
-- pages and plain text are the three formats, chosen from the readme's file
-- extension, and anything that fails to parse falls back to escaped plain
-- text. Markdown and man pages come out in div.markdown and plain text in
-- pre.plaintext, the two wrappers assets/cgit.css styles. It runs on Lua 5.1
-- through 5.5 and LuaJIT.
