• [ ] what types of syntax do each of the static site generators use
• typically markdown gets parsed and then generates html flat files
• Sphinx uses reST (restructured text) though, so how many other content syntaxes exist? What makes each of them good and why?

github's "repo issues" feature is super awesome for gathering ideas for future blog posts (totally what I'm doing here)

• gitlab, private git repo hosting, has a "repo issues" feature also

• [ ] what is the syntax format that Jira uses? Is that custom?
