There is little to no documentation about the markdown used by the
gitea version Devuan has installed. It doesn't seem possible to
configure this gitea to use a markdown renderer by choice, and there
also doesn't seem to be a compatible stand-alone rendering utility for
authoring use in your own workspace.

Another issue will always be that the HTML presentation on a browser
typically involves multiple files, which on the git repository side is
a severe complication. The repository does not keep the project files
"unpacked" as a directory tree, but only as git's binary objects. It
therefore is rather cumbersome for the web service to offer the
collective of files that the browser wants for its HTML+CSS+js
rendering.

In short I guess one should not think of the gitea repository browsing
support (aka gitea) to be a publishing area, but there should rather be
a publishing step that maps the content into HTML at a publishing site.
