Totally agree. Almost nobody uses plain Markdown anymore, but some
extension in the lines of CommonMark[1]. Pandoc[2] for me is still
unbeatable as a light extensible markup language for structured
documentation. I really like AsciiDoc, but Pandoc's author makes a
really good point about readability of Pandoc's Markdown over
AsciiDoc[3]. In my own case, I have enjoyed already the Pandoc's
capabilities for academic writing and its extensibility via filters,
which enable us to create, at the local hackerspace, customized Markdown
for our own workflows, including custom call outs, Font Awesome support
and a pretty good printing/PDF output[4].
