I'm really happy to see this. It's actually quite frustrating that although markdown is so nice, it barely has a consistent standard. It's almost impossible to use it cross-service.
Hopefully now that Github has standardised their own flavour of it (and quite a nice flavour too), more people will start to use it.
Of course there is the obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/927/ https://xkcd.com/927/
- zzleeper 10y agoI would argue that it is consistent now. At the lowest level, you have commonmark. Then, you have extensions at the top, such as GFM. If Pandoc/Github/Reddit/SO/kramdown switch, that accounts for almost all front- and back-end cases that I care about. And given that the first four were actively involved with commonmark, I would take as given that they will support commonmark or a superset of it.
- kccqzy 10y agoPandoc already supports different flavors of markdown (commonmark included) and you can add/remove extensions to base flavors.
