I am sure this will be a daft question but do we need prior knowledge of JavaScript, or one of the many variants, to work with Astro?

It wouldn't hurt but not specifically yes. I think it depends more on what you are trying to build. If you have a strong sense of HTML/CSS and markdown then you could build a site for blogging and more static sites.
You should try there blog walkthrough.

Hello jmcfly, many thanks for the prompt reply. I asked as I have zero knowledge of JS or variants and want to use Astro to create templates as its a website in various languages and was informed Astro is just the tool as we can write the html and css for (example) menus which can then be imported into the webpage without copying lots of code, also when updating the menu for a given language it could update all those webpages based on language.
forgot to say I have no idea what markdown is but will progress with the "Build your first Astro Blog 🚀 Astro Documentation" first.
