All good, Rick mate. You just need to look at Jekyll or Hugo. It will solve your problem. We're using Liquid to introduce IF statements in the markdowns. You don't really need to know Node.js or node in order to do this. Jekyll is built on Ruby, you don't need to know Ruby as well.

For example, just as you don't know how you manage your conscious doesn't mean you're not doing it, it's equally just as same as the way you're breathing without knowing how to breath. If you apply this principle, your life would become much more easier to live.
