         | Pandoc allows Markdown with fallback LaTeX which works
         | incredibly well, imho. I suppose that is if you like both
         | Markdown and LaTeX (along with the rest of its ecosystem).

       | Markdown-based static blogs these days? With good code
       | highlighting, images, colors, etc.

         | 
         | Jekyll - written in Ruby
         | 
         | Hugo - written in Go
         | 
         | Zola - written in Rust

         | I've been running quarto [0] for a few months now and I'm happy
         | with it. Posts are saved as .qmd, with a little bit of special
         | front matter for formatting and tagging. `quarto render`
         | converts the .qmd(s) according to a simple config file. [0]

           | +1 for quarto. I love it for my personal website, and I use
           | it on a daily basis to create technical reports for my day
           | job.

         | It's `pandoc --from markdown-smart --to html5` for me.

         | or tested either.

         | I love hugo, it's a bit complex to get started with but
         | extremely powerful. And the backward compatibility is very
         | good, I started using that 4 years ago and aside of a handful
         | of small issues which could be resolved in 5 min, my websites
         | could be upgraded without any issue. This wasn't my experience
         | with Jekyll.
