Learning how to convert Markdown to HTML

Question

A few days ago I read this article [1] where someone explained why he built his own static site generator (SSG).The post is an interesting reading. However, I was impressed by the comments: there is a large amount of people that write their own SSG tool set rather than using (and modifying) an existing framework.I understand the feeling, creating an SSG is a good project for learning a new programming language. Given that, I would like to ask you for resources about converting Markdown to HTML, maybe something like [2] or a relatively-small sized project like [3].[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28837760[2] https://interpreterbook.com/[3] https://pypi.org/project/Markdown/

Pandoc? That is how I generate html. You can use an arbitrary css stylesheet with it to get the look you want, and if you want to customize something it has a built on capacity for writing lua code to adjust how it parses the markdown
