I’d suggest going with CommonMark if this will be the basis of broader support

That isn't really any simpler. RStudio is just displaying HTML whenever

While a parsed HTML version of the NEWS.md file would be nice, I would like
something much simpler: being able to "see” this file in the Help pane in
RStudio or being about to run something like show_news(“packagename”). Duncan

I agree. It is not worth all the trouble just to save the "bit of

on Github are more meaningful than a plain text NEWS.md or even a
