Whaddayamean mangled? I tried converting a few of them and they look fine.

I tried with pandoc, which just handled it straight up, and kramdown, where I needed to first strip out the YAML preamble. Like this:

sed -e '1,/^---$/d' /tmp/writing-html-in.txt|kramdown

Those .txt files are pure markdown. There aren't any m4 macros.

This is one of the templates I used in the last version of my site. I've found that using pandoc or lowdown to process markdown in this template mangles the HTML that comes out of the includes. But if I write markdown and pipe the output of pandoc/lowdown to xclip, I can paste it into a template instead of doing HTML by hand, so I suppose that will do.

m4_include(website.m4)
m4_define([__title], [])
m4_define([__description], [])
m4_include(article-header.html)
<section>
  
</section>
m4_include(footer.html)

Here are the contents of "website.m4", if you're interested.
