# Seperate pages' generation
In January I implemented half of the functionality of original
PSKOV: generation of separate HTML pages from Markdown.
Both PSKOV 1 and PSKOV 2 produce HTML files that look the same in web browsers.
However, the contents of the generated HTML files differ because PSKOV 1 uses
[Showdown][showdown] to convert Markdown to HTML, whereas PSKOV 2 uses
[intellij-markdown][intellij-markdown].
Let's see how the generated HTML files compare. Suppose we have the following
page in Markdown:
```
Simple page in **Markdown** to convert to **HTML**.
| № | Parser | Language |
|---|--- |--- |
| 1 | [Showdown][showdown] | JavaScript |
| 2 | [intellij-markdown][intellij-markdown] | Kotlin |
[intellij-markdown]: https://github.com/JetBrains/markdown
[showdown]: https://github.com/showdownjs/showdown
```
PSKOV 1 converts the aforementioned Markdown to the following HTML:
```
Simple page in Markdown to convert to HTML.
```
PSKOV 2:
```
Simple page in Markdown to convert to HTML.
```
Here's how both HTML files are rendered in web browsers:

Identical rendering of different files. My internal
perfectionist is outraged by such a disrepancy. And my internal
pragmatist thinks this hardly deserves such an attention.
# February
In February I'm going to update the cross-language dialect's translator to produce Context.
