I'm skeptical of Markdown as the only, best practice, option. I've been searching for this online - can I make an API call from Markdown? - and this is one of those cases where common search terms make it hard to narrow down the result. However, a cursory search makes it seem like the answer is, no; or, not easily. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60177551/calling-rest-api-from-a-markdown-template https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60177551/calling-rest-ap... Want examples of blogs where you'd want to make API calls from your page and not being able to in Markdown would be ruinous? Here's two from my blog. A pretty much straight-from-Twitter page, nothing but Twitter API calls. http://www.mediazed.com/bristol-colston-statue.html http://www.mediazed.com/bristol-colston-statue.html Now you could say, that's a pretty artificial blog post structure, most bloggers wouldn't do that. So here's a more harmonious blend - a pretty regular blog post text blended with Twitter API calls. http://www.mediazed.com/thiel-fellows.html http://www.mediazed.com/thiel-fellows.html And lately I've been thinking of mixing in other embeded platform code (Insta, YouTube) - easily done like this, potentially a hassle with Markdown. Now, maybe you can fight with Markdown and find some way to sprinkle in the embedded code, but if you ask me, it seems like: if I'm dealing with a lot of raw HTML at that point, why not just go all the way and, as a dev, do it all in HTML? I don't see much value add in Markdown, at that point. And this is a perfectly valid, 'real-world' blog use case.
