Opening Take
This is the advanced workflow. The body can look more like handcrafted HTML, but the title, metadata, sidebar, and footer still come from the shared site layout.

Why this counts as HTML-style support
The article body is assembled with custom sections, components, and layout blocks, but it still sits inside the shared Astro page structure. That is the safe and maintainable version of a custom article.
