I dunno. Make a case. There's no backward compatibility necessary, so we
do not have to worry about the two ways of doing lists, for example.
Just '*' will do.
Aside from what Ddoc already does, I'd just stick with:
* Lists
* Nested Lists
* Headings
* Bold
* Italic
* \ escaping
* Quoted text
and skip:
* tables
* links
* emoji
I think links are pretty important, or do you prefer to use Ddoc macros
for that?
I think we should try to support standard markdown [2] plus features
from GitHub markdown. Like fenced code blocks and syntax highlighting
[3]. For simplicity we can start by only supporting D syntax highlighting.
Just for the record, the link you included in your original post [1],
contains some non-standard markdown like:
* Task lists
* Mentioning people and teams
* Referencing issues and pull requests
* Using emoji
