>As a simple example, building my personal website atop Markdown ensures that, even if the formatting can't be preserved

That's why I built my personal ADHD blog[1] on TiddlyWiki[2].

It's a self-contained HTML page that has everything.

I could have even embedded the images.

You can archive it with *File -> Save As...* (single-file .mht works).

I still don't get why Firefox doesn't support MHT(ML)(=EML), while Thunderbird does, considering how that's pretty much the best digital document format we have...
They used to support MHTML prior to the Quantum update, via the Mozilla Archive Format addon or the superior UnMHT addon (which captured pages more accurately than Chromium's MHTML support did in direct comparisons I made).

Not sure why they dropped support for it entirely since, given it was supported for the longest time and it's the most convenient single file format for web page saving. It's a major reason I couldn't continue using Firefox as my main browser.

Mozilla is too busy inserting ads and removing useful features from Firefox.
I'm just waiting until some other organization says enough is enough and forks Firefox. More likely than Mozilla pulling their head out of their ass IMO.
But it already has been forked, several times to boot ?
