The first step in the process is to convert obsidian notes to proper markdown files.

This is mainly done as a separate step so that we can use python-markdown to do most of the html generation for us in the next step. But a nice side effect is that you can also use this package to just generate markdown.

There are a lot of little details that go into converting Obsidian notes to proper markdown. See the demonstration page for all the little things that should just work for this package to be worth its salt.

This step can be skipped, if you want to convert existing markdown to an html site.
