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>
6   * <http://commonmark.org/>
8 It might be worth following...
10 > ikiwiki does not implement Markdown: we use a third-party library for that
11 > (there are several options, but the recommended one is currently
12 > [[!cpan Text::Markdown::Discount]]). We support whatever dialect
13 > of Markdown is implemented by the chosen Markdown implementation.
14 >
15 > As a result, nothing is likely to change in ikiwiki's interpretation of
16 > Markdown unless someone either changes the behaviour of Discount,
17 > or recommends a different (and hopefully better) third-party library.
