> Github? Pandoc? The OG from Daring Fireball? The most popular one that doesn't do something extremely stupid, with a piece of version info in the http header mime type in case it's a mistake. > You'd also probably need an extension to Markdown that links it to a style sheet, so there's yet another dialect. Absolutely not. Let the user have a local style sheet to render it how they want with 1-4 sensible defaults much like FF reader mode. > And then you'll want metadata, so ... which format do you support? Hugo's? Jekyll's? Something else? None of the above. Just the markdown. > Turning Markdown into HTML is (often) trivial. Turning it into a web page is often not. Don't turn it into a webpage then, we already have those. Just render some markdown.
