Marque
Marque is an enhanced Markdown to static site compiler.
It's designed for creators who want to build documentation, blogs, guides, and knowledge bases effortlessly.
Marque supports every feature from Markdown, including extra directives to make your website more like a website and less like your Obsidian vault / Notion notes.
Features
Markdown-first
Marque (.mq) files support plain Markdown, inline HTML and extra directives when structure matters.
@ directives

Flexible navigation
Elements automatically adapt responsively inside the page you're building.
Static output
Generate plain HTML files you can host anywhere with no dependencies.
Theme & style
Keep layout and visual styling separate (.css) for easy customisation.
