Hi List,
I'd like to author pages as markdown files and 
render them when requested.
I've done something similar in Dancer, now
trying Dancer2.
Hoping for an easy result using Dancer2::Plugin::MarkdownFilesToHTML.
I am trying to get a result from this route:
localhost:5000/doc/home
But I can't seem to hook up the route with the 
rendering, and only get 404. The setup I tried follows
below.
An alternative would be capturing the route with a **
and rendering the page in the route handler. 
Does anyone have examples of this?
Thanks for any ideas!
config.yml
==========
appname: "mimizufarm"
layout: "main"
charset: "UTF-8"
template: "simple"
auto_page: 1
plugins:
  MarkDownFilesToHTML:
    defaults:
      prefix: doc
      file_root: lib/md
      template: index.tt
      layout: main.tt
      generate_toc: 0
      linkable_headers: 0
    routes:
      - home:
          resource: 'home.md'
lib/mimizufarm.pm
=================
package mimizufarm;
use Dancer2;
use Dancer2::Plugin::MarkdownFilesToHTML;
our $VERSION = '0.1';
get '/' => sub {
    template 'index' => { 'title' => 'mimizufarm' };
};
true;
the file I'd like to render is lib/md/home.md
