I'm not literally writing" standard HTML, I'm literally writing Markdown and the tool you've yet to fully realise is generating* HTML from the Markdown I'm literally writing.

The issue here is that the GP probably doesn't consider writing content to be related to developing the website.

Which is fair. It's one way of looking at it. Once, a really long time ago, I made a website (e-shop) where the content was written in an XML file, sliced and diced by XSLT via a little PHP script. My job was to write the (X)HTML for the layout and XSLT for data extraction - the content was something my client provided. If they provided the content in Markdown, I'd use markdown-to-html converter instead. Crucially, if I were provided with content in HTML, I'd also handle it (most likely not by directly pasting it into the page, though). I'm sure you can change the format in Nue trivially and write your posts in HTML if you want (right, @tipiirai?)
