First attempt address #19

There are two challenges.
a) To decide what a noob-intro to LinuxCNC could look like
b) Integrate this somehow into the home page in a way that does not look too bad
For now, I hope to just focus on a), i.e. find the right things to talk about and then find the right words that neither offend the individual hearing those words the first time nor any of the LinuxCNC devs. This PR introduces an HTML table that connects CAD, CAM, LinuxCNC, Machine, Control Panel with descriptions. What is missing is the notion of the HAL but that should then be a second schema.

I hope to also come up with many hyperlinks to the documentation/the wiki for more details and also to other sites, like FreeCAD.

Wrt b), I like the news section to somehow either appear next to this description or right below it. Below the news I then think I would want to mix showcases of retrofits and new builds with a notion of costs associated to get going. Something smallish that would qualify as a present for a kid (and myself) would be great.

Not by much, but it felt a bit nicer when I ran this locally :) The section on CAM is not visible. Even though I did not want to talk about "b)" if there is a trick how to properly integrate that HTML into this markdown - someone please help. Thank you for the pointer!

EDIT: The later version of Jekyll I ran locally renders the page differently.

It's probably time to upgrade the wlo builder...

It is a bit better now - but not much. Tried the " tag but this did not support the bullets and no headers either. We will eventually manage.

I upgraded the wlo builder from Buster with Jekyll 3.8.3 to Bullseye with Jekyll 3.9.0 and rebuilt, now it looks like this: http://wlo-test.highlab.com/IntroductioWithfHTMLTableAsSchema/
