markdown in browser via showdown

I am wondering whether I can create my new website in markdown instead of in html. showdown.js at https://github.com/coreyti/showdown seems to be a plugin that can do this.

I am thinking something like

 <html>
 <head>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/showdown-starter.js" />
   <link rel="StyleSheet" href="mystylesheet.css" type="text/css" />
 </head>

 <body>

 # Welcome

 Hello.  Welcome to my website.

 </body>
 </html>

Presumably, the client javascript would transform this into html that the browser likes.
