Unfortunately, there's really no such thing.
Well, the main standardization effort is
[CommonMark](http://commonmark.org/). They have a spec, test
suite, and reference implementations in C and in JS. There's also
a list of other implementations:
<https://github.com/commonmark/CommonMark/wiki/List-of-CommonMark-Implementations>
(though D isn't there yet), as well as a community forum.
Here's [their 10-minute Markdown
tutorial](http://commonmark.org/help/).
If going forward with a rolling your own limited markdown
version, go with a subset of CommonMark. That subset could always
grow into a full implementation of CommonMark if that's desired
later on.
