Some work on FosseryWeb page-builders:
I did some rewrite of the tool, separate out HTML templates from the generation logic, and use Jinja to fill in the templates during generation (this introduces an additional dependency, which some might consider bloat, but since I'll probably be the only one using it, it doesn't matter that much I guess, I rather focus on cleaner code, long-term maintainability). I also created a separate function to handle the Markdown validation logic, and call it before prompting for the description, to give immediate feedback, and rewrote the error messages to be clearer, more organized.
