I've taken a quick look at the readme and I have a few questions / observations:

* is the proposed markup compliant with CommonMark as implemented by
https://github.com/commonmark/cmark ?
(i.e.  if so, which is the syntax that is common in both generators,
`smu` and `cmark`?)

* are code-blocks as separated by ```` on each line supported?  (the
issue with codeblocks as indented by spaces is that one can't easily
copy-paste those in the shell or plain-text editor without removing
the indentation;)

* reading the readme as rendered by GitHub, it is misleading,
especially regarding the quoting syntax;  perhaps it would be better
to put it as an plain `.txt` file which is much more readable;

(I'm asking mainly from the perspective of using `smu` as a
lightweight / simpler / clearer alternative to CommonMark in other
projects.)

Good work,
Ciprian.
