Someone asked me why I don't implement markdown support to the wiki engine instead of painstakingly typing down html tags. I think the reason that I never felt like markdown was worth it, was that the editor I use makes writing html somewhat frictionless, maybe if I lost this, I'd consider adding a parser.

Markdown support adds a thick layer of junk to a SSG, maybe the trick is just to improve html support to the editor you use, and keep the site simplier.

@neauoire How does that wiki engine handle links to pages inside a same wiki? I can see how writing plain HTML instead of Markdown makes sense in a SSG context, however the [[autocomplete]] syntax in Obsidian has been the killer feature that helped me write my own wiki easily. I'd love to see something like that in more opensource editors

@ailepet It understands what is found inside of href tags to be other places and creates inbounds linking from those.

The editor can move between htm/html files like any other editor, there's no special support here.
