CommonMark Is a Useful, High-Quality Project
- ggm 9y agoTwo things in one story (I see this a lot. Its good actually. stories don't have to have only one story-arc) one story is a bloody good C implementation of a parser for common markdown. Thats wonderful! I wanted something simple and focussed. the other is common markdown as a value proposition in itself. I like this, and I would welcome pandoc fronting up and saying yep, we commit to keeping in line with this because I think it does everyone good to get to a common core. I try to do everything in markdown now. I sometimes wish the tools I use (visual studio code) did a better job of distinguishing * this * and * * * this * * * for instance. Actually, I sometimes wish HN did a bit more too, but then simple is pretty compelling. I think if you want richtext in a feedback system beyond denoting quotes, you might be off-beam.
