Motivating use case

I want to turn a (data-oriented) markdown file into an elegant data-driven web page

Data-oriented markdown file is the kind of thing in https://github.com/datasets/awesome-data and its issue https://github.com/datasets/awesome-data/issues

I want things like:

• Auto-conversion of links to csv or excel files into nice tables or previews
• Create charts using react components (in markdown) a la MDX
• Have datasets as markdown files using the frontmatter for metadata
• Datasets within markdown files using backtick notation e.g. ```dataset
• Embedded csv or json data turned into nie tables
