Thanks. I'll have to experiment with Nikola to see if it will parse CommonMark style syntax correctly.

If it doesn't, I would likely be better off using an editor that supports Markdown Extra, even if it doesn't render YAML code correctly.

Do you have any plans to add the Raspberry Pi to the list of supported platforms?

I'm hoping to use Deepdwn with Nikola, which is a static site generator written in Python. This allows the use of Python-Markdown Extra which is similar to PHP Markdown Extra.

Using either of those extensions allows the following code to interpret the markdown and HTML correctly:-

<SECTION markdown="1">
## A level two heading
A paragraph with **bold** and *italics*.
</SECTION>

It looks like you have to jump through a few more hoops to do something similar in CommonMark.

Edit: Hmm. This site seems to remove the blank line between the heading and the paragraph. Imagine there is one there.

I need to be able to include semantic HTML block elements - such as SECTION - within my Markdown documents. Would this cause problems with the preview feature of Deepdwn?

I know that Python (and PHP) Markdown Extra can cope with that using special 'markdown="1"' and 'markdown="block"' attributes, but there aren't many editors with a preview that supports that and YAML front matter.
