Some good points for reST instead of markdown: * Markdown has many flavors, reST is standarized * reST is extensible * reST is semantic, Markdown is just text. http://ericholscher.com/blog/2016/mar/15/dont-use-markdown-for-technical-docs/ http://ericholscher.com/blog/2016/mar/15/dont-use-markdown-f... reST is marginally harder than markdowns, so is it really worth sticking with MD ?

That margin is huge. I've worked with rST, and it's just not fun to write in the way that Markdown is; even a little friction makes a huge difference to the writing experience.

  Asciidoc is a viable alternative, I think.
