Nice discussion on this here just a couple weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44865997

> Given that Markdown fully supports HTML I have built sites using just Markdown + web components but that's... just how it works.

Agreed. My blog is a single shell script that runs pandoc on all the files in a subdir, generates a new .md file for table of contents, and then uses pandoc to generate a ToC.html file.

That doesn't mean that my the site uses no Javascript - the magic of web components means that I can place `<some-custom-component> ...` in the middle of my .md content and have interactive components in the resulting html.

What would be really useful is decent tooling for this sort of authoring.

this actually uses web components under the hood! the dsl is more secure and easier to write (at least in my opinion). For v2 I'll make the whole design/architecture more polished and web-component oriented, possibly with some sort of verifier/editor support???
