You are right. Thank you for the insight! How about this: Sundown and Markdown are both HTML preprocessors with different goals.

Sundown and Markdown are both HTML preprocessors with different goals.
- roywiggins 9y agoNot all markdown processors implement inline HTML, which I learned to my detriment recently (the "markdown" package on npm doesn't).
- ne01 9y agoExactly. Most Markdown processors don't implement this feature because it is very unpredictable and has too many contradictory edge cases.
- pyre 9y ago... which makes Markdown even _less_ like your software. Also less relevant to marketing efforts as people up-thread are saying. Some of the use-cases that you're covering with your software were never covered by Markdown, nor were they ever intended to be use-cases for Markdown. So you're not going to find people that are currently using Markdown that will need Sundown for those use-cases.
- ukulele 9y agoHonestly I see no reason to even mention markdown. Sundown really has nothing to do with it. Just state why it's an improvement over HTML in various scenarios.
