It also poses a major problem for advanced usage (templates, math, citations, etc.) Markdown is a decent language for basic stuff like Reddit, Stack Overflow, GitHub READMEs, etc. Stuff where the most important feature is making it easy for people to make content. Places like Wikipedia or blogs are where Markdown doesn’t work so well. Sure, you want it to be relatively easy for people to edit Wikipedia pages, but it’s worth sacrificing ease of editing because you want to improve the reading experience.
