I don't like Markdown, because it too often takes what I meant and changes it to what I think I meant.
I'm OK with ambiguity between implementations, but this one is a deal-breaker for me, and I've not encountered a Markdown implementation which doesn't do it.
I think it's just a faulty idea to begin with.

- forgotmypw17 6y agomore specific: when i want something left alone or displayed as is, markdown does its own thing and wrecks it completely. and there is usually no easy way to negate it. no, pre-pending each line wit 4 spaces, only to get nowrap now, which works like shit in small displays, is not easy. it makes the user think and do extra work at minimum. examples: emoticons urls with certain common symbols code textart that,s just off the top
