- spankalee 12y agoThat's a very good writeup, and his points are important for anyone to consider before proclaiming support for the CommonMarkdown effort. I wish there were way more discussions like this of the technical merits of CommonMarkdown than the name. While I'm very supportive of some kind of sane Markdown specification, it's pretty disappointing that those with the biggest audience to push a specification have created such an apparently poor one. And after 2 years! Spec-by-examples, especially for an inherently ambiguous and forgiving syntax like Markdown, should be known to be a bad idea.
