Website Maintenance with Pandoc and Markdown
I've been struggling for a long time with how to properly and simply maintain a website. The eternal dilemma seems to be this: If you want to keep the HTML simple enough to be readily editable in a text editor, you're stuck with keeping the styling really simple. On the other hand, a nice theme has lots of header and footer material, which makes it a nightmare to deal with editing a page on a regular basis. You can smooth over the problem, but only if you have some heavy server power available to use stuff like PHP or server-side includes, and since my professional website is hosted on academic web servers, I don't have any control over what's happening server-side.
I finally think I've got a solution, using Pandoc. More below the fold.
