        Render a page through jinja2: it reads the code and

        It tests the `render_macros` metavariable 
        in the page's header to decide whether to actually
        render or not (but you can force it).

        PRINCIPLE OF PRECAUTION:
        If the YAML header of the page contains `render_macros: false`:
        that takes priority:
        NO rendering will be done, and the markdown will be returned
        as is (even if `force_rendering` is set to true). 


        Arguments
        ---------
        - markdown: the markdown/HTML page (with the jinja2 macros)
        - force_rendering: if True, it forces the rendering,
          even if the page header doesn't say so
          (used in the case when `render_by_default` is set to false
          in the config file)

        Returns
        -------
