Mainly explicitly set the different favicons.
Also looking to generate [humans.txt](https://humanstxt.org), `security.txt`, `hackers.txt`, etc. and other such files for completeness.

Essentially this is having non `.html` templates and a mechanism to evoke the template with data from another `md` or non `md` file and produce a non `html` output. Other than this nothing special need to be done. What is needed is a generalisation of what is already been done with `html` and `md` files which can be the default.
