Perhaps we could use Creole 1.0 instead - it is standardized to a large extent (see http://wikicreole.org/wiki/Creole1.0 for the spec) and has been around for over 10 years now. Creole files (using the .creole extension) are automatically rendered by the GitHub and GitLab web interfaces. See, for example: https://gitlab.com/ossguy/sgx-catapult There are a number of engines that support it already as well, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creole_(markup)#Support_in_engines . It also supports tables. In my experience, Creole provides similar functionality to the commonly-used derivations of Markdown, but provides the standardization that Markdown lacks.
