PowerShell + DevOps Summit 2026 — presented by Gilbert Sanchez (@HeyItsGilbert)

You already write Markdown. README.md, meeting notes, maybe even your grocery list.
But what if that Markdown could become a blog, a polished docs site, a personal resume, or even a link-in-bio page?

This organization hosts all the demo sites and code from the Markdown Madness talk — one repo per static site generator, all built from the same Markdown content.

• Markup vs. Markdown — what flavors exist (GFM, CommonMark, MDX) and when they matter
• Static Site Generators 101 — CLI-generated, output as HTML, no runtime server required
• Generator Deep Dives — Jekyll, MkDocs, Hugo, and Docusaurus side-by-side
• VS Code Tooling — GitHub Markdown Preview, markdownlint, Reflow Markdown, Markdown All in One, Marp, FrontMatter CMS
• Prose & Quality Tools — markdownlint, Vale, alex
• Running Locally with Docker — each generator has a Dockerfile so you don't need the runtime installed
• Deploying — GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, and more

All demo sites render the same source Markdown:

• Getting Started — quick intro guide
• Showcase — feature highlights
• Blog — a sample post (Morning Coffee)

This makes it easy to compare how each generator handles identical content.

• Jekyll Docs
• MkDocs Material Theme
• Hugo Docs
• Docusaurus Docs
• Marp — Markdown Presentation Ecosystem
• FrontMatter CMS VS Code Extension
• Vale — Prose Linting
• alex — Catch Insensitive Writing
