Vuepress: Support different file extensions
I'd like to use VuePress to generate an RSS feed (or a sitemap, but there is an open issue already on making that built in), but as VuePress always generates HTML files, I'd like to propose a way around that. Given a filename of something.ext.md, then VuePress should generate something.ext, not something.html. If something.md is used, then the default is HTML.

since VuePress is ONLY a static site generator, we DON'T plan to support this. and for such functionality, you should finish it by your own build process.

How is an XML file not static though? Or JSON?

Let me add a bit more clarification. Consider an RSS feed, or sitemap. Both are static. Both could easily be generated by VuePress if we could simply output to a non-HTML file (and support suppressing layout). These are both things that many static site generators support now.
