I'd like to keep Markdown support, but mostly so I can reuse the same pages of actual content (the posts and everything). The templates I'm probably just going to ignore; my plan is that each section just automatically gets a link to every post it contains appended to its (rendered) _index.md. This is more 'Exarch's file structure is compatible with Zola's, so you can run Exarch on a Zola markdown repository' than aiming for feature parity with Zola. If I wanted that, I'd just tell people to use a HTTP-Gemini proxy or something. (p.s., how come Microsoft is the only mainstream vendor that has a good robot emoji? Mutant Standard [0] is my favorite, which is why I used a variant of it as my favicon. Everything else feels too... toylike.)
