True.
So why did you do so?
You're well aware that in common parlance, markdown refers to any of the following incomplete list: Gruber's Markdown reference implementation (practically extinct in the wild), Git-flavored Markdown, and Commonmark. There are others, Julia's version of Markdown has some extensions and is missing at least one feature from the original. Its standard library for parsing this is called Markdown.
To write the comment you wrote, you had to pretend that you didn't know this. That's disingenuous. That kind of "what you're referring to is actually GNU/Linux" sort of nitpick is annoying.
- kragen 3y agosam, you're capable of interesting, thought-provoking conversations and creations. this kind of kindergarten why-are-you-hitting-yourself nonsense is beneath you you're well aware you waltzed into a conversation where we were using 'markdown' in precisely the way you're claiming people don't use it, then attempted to impose your own definition on the conversation, despite the fact that the existing conversation made no sense when interpreted through it. doubling down on that by attacking my integrity is contemptible behavior you're not a contemptible person, and your better side will be ashamed of it when you look back on this conversation later
