The web2py template engine does not do any specialized rendering of content
outside the {{...}} delimiters. It processes the Python code inside the
template delimiters and returns everything else as is. What you ask is
simply not part of the design of the template system (nor most other
template systems, I think).
Of course, you can pass markdown content to a web2py template and have it
rendered to HTML using a markdown-to-html converter. Or you can do the
conversion in the controller and return the output directly rather than
using a view.
I'm not sure how Github Pages is relevant here. The issue is not a
technical one (there are libraries to generate HTML from Markdown) -- this
is already doable in web2py. It's just that the template system is not
designed to do any special post-processing of the template content.
Note, we couldn't add this functionality without breaking backward
compatibility -- the framework can't start automatically assuming any view
with a .md extension includes Markdown to be transformed to HTML (existing
apps might be using the .md extension for some other purpose or be designed
to return actual Markdown content). We could probably create a generic.md
view that looks for a named view associated with the current requested
function (perhaps with a different extension, such as .markdown), renders
that view, and then converts it from Markdown to HTML.
