markdown2 VS Lektor

I remember I had some problems with converting as well but as per https://github.com/trentm/python-markdown2 there is a quick usage section, and this example worked for me. Please try it like this

From their GitHub repo documentation:

First, I used django-microframework as inspiration for a simple app.py that could be used instead of the potentially overwhelming files Django normally uses for a site. Then, I added in automatic reading of .env files to override Django settings that shouldn't be committed. I used markdown2 to automatically render markdown files into HTML. And built a way to load data from JSON into templates to be used as variables (since a database is not available when generating a static site).

Here, the markdown2 python package is used to convert the markdown wiki entries which are then rendered as entry.html.

Guess I'm one of the annoying users who complained when armin's Lektor (https://github.com/lektor/lektor) started going dormant back when, but I loved it for a while. I'm on Astro now, but a big thanks for helping a younger version for me.

Lektor is a modern and flexible static content management system that utilizes Python as its core language. It comes with an intuitive web-based admin interface, making it easy for content creators to manage and update the site. Lektor supports a variety of content types and has an active community that contributes to its continuous improvement.

Lektor CMS is sort of a prototype-ish thing doing this: https://www.getlektor.com/

It has (used to have? Can't find them on the site now) pre-packaged binaries that you would drop into a folder structure generated by the technically-minded person, and the content editor can simply click on that binary, which opens the backend of the CMS in the web browser, make changes and click deploy.

There have been several Flask-based CMS's but I don't remember most of them. IIRC Lektor is based on Flask.

Static hosting could be enough for many sites and one could combine the technical and UX advantages of your dynamic interface with the advantages of static sites for security and distribution.

I found that useful when i worked with https://www.getlektor.com/ years ago. In lektor the dynamic part runs on a users desktop machine, but it of course wouldn't need to.

Lektor is Python based and Just Works, but it is far off the beaten track… https://www.getlektor.com/
