1 Just a quick note that some people are making noise about Markdown standardisation.  Specifically:
3   * <http://markdown.github.com/>
4   * <http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/10/the-future-of-markdown.html>
5   * <http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/faq.html#what-are-some-big-questions-that-the-markdown-spec-does-not-answer>
7 It might be worth following...
9 > ikiwiki does not implement Markdown: we use a third-party library for that
10 > (there are several options, but the recommended one is currently
11 > [[!cpan Text::Markdown::Discount]]). We support whatever dialect
12 > of Markdown is implemented by the chosen Markdown implementation.
13 >
14 > As a result, nothing is likely to change in ikiwiki's interpretation of
15 > Markdown unless someone either changes the behaviour of Discount,
16 > or recommends a different (and hopefully better) third-party library.
