    mine has no org-mode...which is fine...I like markdown:

    find . -name '*.md' -type f -exec sh -c '

      for file do  
        out="docs/${file#./}"  
        out="${out%.md}.html"
        mkdir -p "$(dirname "$out")"  
        pandoc --quiet --template template.html "$file" -o "$out"  
      done  
    ' sh {} +

      So simple, I love this.

      As a long-time Emacs user, I also prefer Markdown (and by a wide margin). I have tried so many times over the years, even going all in for a time with Beorg on iOS. But I always come back to Markdown.

      Part of it is that I just prefer the Markdown syntax to everything else, but the other part is that I just don't care to use much of the (admittedly super cool) machinery around org, such as task capture, calendars, etc.
