  Also due to markdown being a very badly defined “spec”.

    I disagree. It isn’t badly defined, although vanilla Markdown includes some awkward choices. A few have been revised in other versions. But as a markup system that’s also human-readable, it’s a pretty handy tool.

      CommonMark itself even claims that markdown doesn’t have a spec, so not sure you can claim it’s not badly defined. spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#why-is-a-spec-needed-

      asciidoc is much better defined, has hardly any edge cases, supports vastly more features, and is a lot easier to use (the lack of a spec doesn’t ever get in the way)

        Well, there’s the replacement then.
