From the post:

> Originating in simple blog engines, static site generators treat pages as a single content chunk (often in Markdown) with some metadata sprinkled on top. If you need several long chunks of content (say, a product short description, long description, technical specs, and a list of vendors), you’re out of luck.

I've struggled with this too. I'd really like to write in unadorned Markdown, because I'm using Trello as a headless CMS[0], but I also want the Markdown to map to an object containing discrete chunks of content.

The solution I settled on is to map level 1 headings to separate properties. The content that follows each level 1 heading is converted to HTML and becomes the value of the corresponding property - unless the content is a code block, in which case the code block is parsed as YAML to get a nested object instead of HTML.
