xmind and markdown translator

introduction

This tool inspired by one of my colleague who just use xmind to make summary. Xmind is good at mind mapping, it seem that when you read a book or article, xmind can help you quickly summarize the key point. But if you want to share it with others, xmind seems a little trouble. This tool help you translate xmind file to markdown syntax. In future, it may support markdown syntax to xmind.
