Action to keep channel content in-sync with Markdown based templates

This action is tested on every push with a Test Workflow to ensure things function as expected. However it has not been extensively battle-tested with many different inputs and configurations so please report any issues you may find.

Once the action matures and is more extensively tested it will be promoted from v0 to v1.

• A Discord Bot with Manage Webhooks and Manage Messages permissions in the target server(s)
• One or more Markdown template documents using the extended syntax (see below)

Template documents can make use of any Markdown syntax that Discord directly supports, as templates are sent almost verbatim to the target channels. You can also use --- (horizontal rules) to break up the document into multiple messages, otherwise messages will be split automatically.

Images will also be embedded correctly, however images must be in a message of their own to be parsed correctly.

Finally, bulleted lists will be transformed to use the Unicode bullet character.

You can see an example of the syntax here.

All Markdown templates must have YAML frontmatter to denote the channel target and allow you to pass additional per-template configuration.
