Markdown, Asciidoc, or reStructuredText - a tale of docs-as-code
An implementation of the docs-as-code approach, docToolchain is a collection of scripts that makes it easy to create and maintain powerful technical documentation. It is a popular open-source project that uses jBake under the hood as the SSG. docToolchain can publish to Confluence, generate PDF using an Asciidoctor plugin, and more.

Patterns for Personal Web Sites
In my experience, [Pelican](https://getpelican.com/) does a good job of allowing you to edit themes on all pages at once with its static page generator.
There are a lot of built in features designed more for blog-like websites, but I’ve found it pretty easy to make my personal website with it.

How to host final project (flask web application) on permanent server?
There's also Pelican but I haven't used it and seeing as Github serves static pages I'd imagine it builds and deploys your page and is done with it.

Ask HN: Which Python or Rust-based static site generators to use as of 2023?
I use Pelican (https://getpelican.com/) for my blog, which works decently for me. It is a static site generator written in Python.
But you probably won't learn much Python by using it (or Rust when using a generator written in it) since you probably won't need to change anything in it.

Creating a Python Wiki application
Surely a "local private wiki ... not web based ... on a desktop application" is not really a "wiki" at all, but rather a "static site generator" with a built-in "search". If that's what you want, there's a Python app called Pelican. Writing such an app from scratch isn't really a beginners project.

Trying to work around a Jekyll site-building tutorial without using Jekyll
You can - you'd basically just create a python script that parses your HTML/CSS files and replaces strings with values from your YAML. However I wouldn't recommend that unless you're just using this as an opportunity to learn Python. If you want to standup a real site and you want to use python, I'd recommend a Python static site generator like Pelican or Nikola.
