Ah, I didn't even know moving away from ikiwiki was considered. I mostly
wrote the script to see how far I would get and to learn a bit about
ikiwiki and hugo.

Regarding the hugo renderer- if I'm interpreting the issues correctly,
the hugo project has now decided to remove mmark support alltogether
(https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/6486) and only support
commonmark via goldmark.

cheers,
