Did you try the discount module by Alex Bradbury? It's available in 
LuaRocks (luarocks install lua-discount). The plain Lua Markdown module 
is really slow to convert the Lua/APR documentation to HTML (it takes 
several minutes) so I tried out discount and it's done in 2 seconds :-). 
A word of warning though: If your Markdown documents are complex, you 
may find corner cases where the two modules give different output (I had 
to hack around these changes a bit).
