And that's the problem. Markdown is ill specified, poorly thought out, and in consequence there are many dialects of Markdown. Thus http://commonmark.org/ and https://xkcd.com/927/ It's good a Markdown is working for you, but it and its ilk need to die out. Others did a better job, e.g. http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
