Markdown is supposed to (be able to) look good as-is. Most people's Markdown doesn't look good as-is, though. They target the GitHub renderer and come from the GitHub-listing-as-a-product-landing-page school of thought, so even project READMEs are generally a mess.

- Dylan16807 4y agoThat means you distribute the best you have. It doesn't obligate you to use better methods.
- ElevenLathe 4y agoExactly this. I was paraphrasing the definition of source code from the GPL: "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it."
- cxr 4y agoThis isn't an unknowable hypothetical. No need to presume anything. Markdown found in the wild is a mess. The GitHub Flavored Markdown renderer even encourages it.
