> Hell, I still write the HTML and push it to Github where Github Pages and Cloudflare put it up on the Web for me. I've never seen any reason to use Markup when I can just Mark my text Up in HTML pretty simply.

This sounds like you're making everything more difficult for yourself with little to no gain whatsoever.

With Markup or Markdown, you're still writing that HTML, but you're writing it once and then using automation and data structures to abstract it away. After that's implemented, and it's already been done for you (Hugo, MkDocs, ...), you're just writing the actual content and using simple syntax to format it. Everything else is then handled for you.

If I had to write that from first principles, as you're doing above, I simply wouldn't have.
