Even just commonmark has multiple ways you can do things (backticks and spaces for code), and I'd think supporting a set like: Gruber's original, commonmark, and GFM would make sense. Alternatively, we can leave that to other backends like ox-gfm. Basically: markdown is a mess and I'm not sure what would be a good course of action. -- Timothy
