 ## Companion projects
 
+- [**graph-compose-markdown**](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.github.demchaav/graph-compose-markdown) &mdash; a Markdown &rarr; PDF path built on the GraphCompose engine. Hand it a Markdown document and it renders through the same layout, theme, and PDFBox pipeline as the Java DSL &mdash; a companion **input surface** for teams who would rather author in Markdown than call the DSL directly. Published on Maven Central as `io.github.demchaav:graph-compose-markdown`; independent lifecycle, consumes the engine as a dependency.
 - [**graphcompose-ai-flow**](https://github.com/DemchaAV/graphcompose-ai-flow) &mdash; experimental sister project exploring an AI-assisted authoring flow on top of GraphCompose. Independent codebase, separate lifecycle &mdash; nothing in this repo depends on it. Track it if you are interested in agentic document composition driven by the same semantic node model.
