Reply to comment by ivanmoony in directly use markdown files as web page or web site by casualwriter-hk

thanks. may just add add <noscript> to markdown file, it will be added to main html.

I try to add below at the bottom of index.md

&lt;noscript&gt;casual-markdown, casualwriter, javascript, html, regexp&lt;/noscript&gt;

for ulr: https://casualwriter.github.io/casual-markdown/

you may use [alt-s] to see the html code. (still not sure how google read it)

I'm afraid that will not work. The idea is to assume that google would index html before running any scripts while you are populating the noscript within your jit-compiler script. The thing works only if you have a separate html per each md, and you manually put noscript tag in each of them. Not very elegant solution, that is why I posed the question in the first place.

Maybe if you push your html rendering scripts to some server-side scripting tech? Something like you call a php script that constructs html output based on md file you pass as a parameter. That way search crawlers would seamlessly index the resulting html. No miss. I like this solution better than noscript one, but it requires rewriting parts of your code. What you'd finally get is files properly structured for search engines indexing.

if the <noscript> tag should appear in html file for SEO purpose, I think another approach will be more suitable.

It is a html file which body content in markdown/html format. html tag can be added directly in body content. Please check if it fit your use case.

I think it could work. Very clever solution. Thank you for the idea.
