It's only convenient for users of GitHub, there is surely a large number of users that use both, but there is also a common standard.

- scrollaway 9y agoBut you realize that there isn't a common standard, right? Markdown is a language which has no official spec. CommonMark is as close as it gets to one and that one does include github-style code fencing, so I don't know what you're even on about.
- unfunco 9y agoIt was CommonMark I was thinking of, it just seemed to make more sense (to me at least) to implement that reference, rather than one that seems specific to GitHub (nothing against GitHub flavoured markdown, I use it and I like it's simplicity)
