Custom Website MD

In Design Phase

This is simply in the idea and design phase, but I have an idea for a website that works like this:

A PHP page that has three functions: header, footer, and content area. The header pulls an HTML page with a marker that gets a list (or directory list) and auto builds a menu based on the folder structure.

The footer is whatever.

The content is where it gets interesting: each page is named "x.html" where y is any word that corresponds with an x.md page that gives the content. That MD file will have a "meta" (I forget what Jeckyll calls it) that will select the style of the page from an html "template". The template would be pure html except for a single line that indicates where the text goes. This would allow a lot of customization in making very simple sites that can be easily formatted as a blog for people that have minimal knowledge. It is essentially want MKdocs does but without all of the extra steps to make it easier for web developers to actually style and make look good, while being more lightweight than wordpress, but also being easy enough with a simple web interface.
