What's puzzling is that the creator of Markdown wants it like this, and actively resisted endorsing an official standard. He got into a fight with Jeff Atwood from Coding Horror / StackOverflow because of this.
- eduction 4y agoHe didn’t like when CommonMark was named “Standard Markdown” or when it was renamed “Common Markdown:” https://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-common-markdown/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-commo... It also sounds like he ignored an invitation to join the effort to create what became CommonMark. Since that was as close as anyone came to standardizing, ya it seems reasonable to conclude he’s fine with the ambiguities.
- the_af 4y agoYes, that's the conversation I meant. Gruber got irritated by even attempting to get his opinion on this effort. Very, very weird.
- avgcorrection 4y agoShould have called it Common AppleFan.
