That does look cool, but just as a heads-up, i recently found a concern
with hugo and its reliance on an outdated and unmaintained version of
mmark:

https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/5124

Now, it's quite possible that ikiwiki has comparable problems (i haven't
looked into it), so i don't want to suggest that tail making such a
switch would be strictly worse, but from what i can see, hugo does have
a vaguely-bad "smell" to it given this ecosystem stagnation.

thanks for your efforts in thinking about this tooling. the attention
and care taken on Tails documentation is very much appreciated.
