==============================================================================

4.0.4

# Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.

Review Board currently uses Python-Markdown, which (religiously) implements the 
original Markdown spec from 2004, which has a number of issues.

Our users often run into such issues where Python-Markdown doesn't render 
things as expected. For example, indenting a sub-list to the level of the 
original list's contents renders it as part of the original list, rather than a 
sub-list as expected.

[CommonMark](https://commonmark.org/) is a newer standard that irons out a lot 
of these issues. It's used by GitHub, GitLab, Stack Overflow, Reddit etc.

This is a request for Review Board to switch to a CommonMark renderer.

Failing that, we'd at least like to be able to configure the Python-Markdown 
plugins that Review Board uses. This would let us avoid a lot of these issues 
by adding plugins such as "Truly Sane Lists" and "Breakless Lists".
