Vigil,

Try

> py -m pip install -U Markdown
> Markdown -version
Markdown: discount (master)2.2.7

Then in geany, use

Markdown -o %e.html %f

If this doesn't work, then create a command file e.g. "mkdn.cmd" with:

@echo off
markdown %1 %2

and put it in a folder in your path. Add any Markdown options in this
file. And put

mkdn %e %f.html

in geany.

This assumes that the python scripts folder, where Markdown got
installed is in your path. If not, use the full path, with double
quotes, if necessary, into the command or into geany.

BTW, you can also try markdown2, in a similar way with the second line
of the command file being:

markdown2 %1 > %2

and

mkdn %e %.html

in geany.

Note: I have not tested this myself. Instead, I use a markdown plugin
in Notepad++, despite using Geany for almost all other editing.

HTH
Doug
