This requires both pre-processing and post-processing stages in the 
pipeline of document production. 
My inclination is to leverage php (although I see that other scripting 
languages such as python are used).

    After playing around with different options I read in this thread I can 
now meet the requirements
 by the following approach which fits with my PHP development workflow.

(a) PHP5 is requirement in Ubuntu.
(b) add a php extension to my input markdown file (e.g. test.md becomes 
test.md.php)
(c) now add php pre-processing functions to my test.md.php input file
(d) run in command terminal .. php test.md.php > test.md .. to pre-process 
the markdown mixed with php
(e) pre-process functions included in test.md.php might be (as an example) 
..
     <?php embedObject("path/to/test.csv", $csv_range, $object_type, 
$object_style) ?>
(f) generated HTML code returned from above function is embedded as inline 
code between <section></section> tags
(g) another php function includes files (sections) recursively from nested 
folders.
(h) also I'm researching how harp might fit in to 
workflow... https://harpjs.com/
(i) finally the personalisation variables for each run might be driven from 
mongodb json content.
(j) I use Atom markdown editor with markdown preview and PHP packages 
installed
     
This hybrid md.php approach might run against the grain by I throw it in 
here as another suggested workflow.
