In what format do you write your website?


Up until now, I've used Markdown for my blog posts but recently I've wanted to make more complicated pages. I'm not sure yet what to do, should I write partly in Markdown and partly in HTML? Should I migrate everything to HTML? Or maybe there is something else in the middle?

I was also thinking of having some dynamic pages in my static website so maybe HTML is the only solution?

In Python. of course. I use good old web.py, because I am lazy and stupid.

"Django lets you write web apps in Django. TurboGears lets you write web apps in TurboGears. Web.py lets you write web apps in Python."

I have (tiny) improvement to the web.py architecture. Using global variable you can add stuff into webpage with "+=".

    class bucket: urls=()
    
    bucket.urls=('/','index')
    class index:
        def GET(self):
    
    bucket.urls+=('/goto:(.*)','goto')
    class goto:
        def GET(self,s):

    bucket.urls+=('/kartta_(.*)','kartta')
    class kartta:
        def GET(self,s):

I think most flavours of markdown support html just by putting it in there.

If you want dynamic pages do those in html. No problem.
