My friend @thorsten asked me for some help converting Markdown documents from HTMLy (a flat-file CMS) to something usable with Astro.
HTMLy does things a bit differently, by keeping the date in the filename and metadata inside the Markdown as specifically formatted HTML comments.
I wrote a little Python script that parses the metadata and the date and generates Markdown frontmatter from that.
If you're looking to migrate away from HTMLy to a Static Site Generator, feel free to give it a try. 🙂
The frontmatter properties are specific to Astro at the moment, but should be easy to adapt to any other SSG.
