An un-inventively named quick script to process markdown documents, executing
in-line SQL statements against a sqlite database.
+
+You write a markdown file with code tagged `sql`, then run this script against
+it, along with a local sqlite3 database file, and you get HTML output with the
+query results in table form. Sort of like a crude/simple jupyter notebook.
+
+Requires the python package `mistune`. Try something like:
+
+ # debian/ubuntu
+ sudo apt install python3-mistune
+
+ # elsewhere
+ sudo pip3 install mistune
