Instead of reinventing the wheel and shoehorning basic functionality into markdown, why not just use a markup format that already “just works”, like asciidoctor

- eitland 5y agoI think GitHub support Asciidoc already, you just have to specify it. Or is that GitLab?
- bobbylarrybobby 5y agoGitHub supports it, so I don’t see why they don’t just encourage users to use it instead of reinventing the wheel with markdown
- stock_toaster 5y agoI thought it only rendered files in the repo (match by extension). Does GH also allow asciidoc(tor) syntax in comments and issues? * Note: Sadly, include is not supported on GH. https://github.com/github/markup/issues/1095 https://github.com/github/markup/issues/1095
- masklinn 5y ago> Does GH also allow asciidoc(tor) syntax in comments and issues? No, only markdown is “native” to the platform.
