Agreed! I think this is the main problem with Markdown: > The most official reference manual for markdown is the original one written by John Gruber in 2004. It is unmaintained since that time and leaves various ambiguities, such that different parsers tend to parse input somewhat differently in detail. Its ridiculous that it hasn't been updated, though there have been some attempts.
