SP/OpenSP and older SGML tools were most certainly available and used to assemble HTML docs from command line apps in the 1990s for complex websites with lots of content such as software documentation. The editor of the HyTime spec wit

You can use entities to create static sites in advance, or by including support in the browser. sgmljs can do both, and simply using shared headers/footers for static site generation from markdown and other SGML partials is explained i

HTML was invented as an SGML vocabulary, and SGML and thus also XML has entities/text macros you can use to reference shared documents or fragments such as shared headers, footers, and site nav, among other things.

Markdown inline syntax is straightforward to capture using SGML SHORTREF. What's more difficult (impossible) are things such as reference links where a markdown processor is supposed to pull text (the title of a link) from wherever it&

The entire point of markup attributes is to contain rendering hints that themselves aren't rendered to the user as such. Hell, angle-bracket markup itself was introduced to unify and put a limit to syntactic proliferation. But somehow
