A long time issue with Markdown was that there was no standardization (and when I used Pillar's MD export ~2 years ago it didn't work well).
However CommonMark ( http://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/ ) has become the de-facto standard, so it would make sense to support it bidirectionally with Pillar. > The readme.md that Peter is talking about is gfm markdown Well, technically it is just a CommonMark, as I am not using any github extensions. (Github uses CommonMarks and adds just couple small extensions.) Peter
