Thanks for the comments! I've dropped the `ToHTML` transformer, and made the transformations easier. Sadly, the standard transformer seems to break raw text tree positions, so it is not currently possible to properly replace the Markdown text with the Javadoc text when the transformer is installed. Please see:

for more details. Once that is solved, it should be possible to merge the newest changes in the Markdown branch.
