I'm sure you know about pandoc for translating markdown into html (and all it's other tricks).
- MidnightRider39 6mo agoYea but that still requires a non-zero amount of time to setup and most importantly maintain and keep up to date. Pure HTML generated from a text file just works and probably will forever. I mean it’s just my personal website which is mostly just for me to look up things quickly / personal wiki
- cachius 6mo agoBut the text file has some markup syntax beyond human language? Point being LLMs are subpar for acting on formal grammars, like cracking a nut with a sledgehammer. That's why its important tools like 11ty and pandoc remain.
- MidnightRider39 6mo agoThat’s somewhat true (in my case it’s it’s laughably simple though). I also never said that tools like pandoc are obsolete now. Just in my case they are already overpowered and I might migrate to something simpler soon. Otoh i might just run the current version of 11ty indefinitely and never upgrade.
