• Caddyfile@caddy-markdown-site

The code you provided is a Caddyfile configuration for using the caddy-markdown-site plugin. This plugin allows you to serve Markdown files as static websites using Caddy. Let's go through the configuration and understand what each section does:

In summary, this configuration sets up Caddy to serve static files, handle Markdown files, and use templates for rendering dynamic content. It includes special handling for media files, templates, Markdown files, and error pages.

    # The handle @markdown_index_exists_404 block checks if the requested path has an index.md file 
    # and if the HTTP error status code is 404. If both conditions are met, it maps the path and serves
