Using markdown in copyright or announce vars in mkdocs.yml

[Andygol]

I use next code to localize Announcement

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block announce %}
  <div markdown>
    {{ config.announce }}
  </div>
{%- endblock %}

Localization is made via mkdocs-static-i18n, so I have announce var in the mkdocs.yml.

I observed one frustrating aspect: the values of the announce or copyright variables must be in a plain HTML format.

The presence of <div markdown> together with the md_in_html plugin does not result in the conversion of markdown markup into HTML.

Is there any way to make it possible to write text in markdown in the values of variables (in mkdocs.yml) and then it is displayed correctly formatted in the copyright or/and announce blocks?

While I don't think this is possible out of the box (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), I imagine a MkDocs plugin could be crafted to alter the template (or maybe the final page output) by scanning for such blocks and converting them from Markdown to HTML via a on_post_template event (or maybe on_post_page). I imagine some experimentation would be required to figure out exactly when the desired content is available. The plugin would likely need to read in the markdown_extension plugin config and create its own Markdown process for conversion, but it is probably doable.
