Hi, There are several specifications, that define the text/markdown* MIME *type and the variants thereof. File extension is .md
text/markdown is specified at [RFC7763] The text/markdown Media Type <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7763> since March 2016. It mentions markdown-variants in [chapter 10] <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7763#page-10> Some important variants are registered / described in [RFC7764] Guidance on Markdown: Design Philosophies, Stability Strategies, and Select Registrations <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7764> Common variants are: - MultiMarkdown - GitHub-Flavored Markdown - Pandoc - Fountain (Fountain.io) - CommonMark - kramdown-rfc2629 (Markdown for RFCs) - rfc7328 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7328> (Pandoc2rfc) - PHP Markdown Extra CommonMark is the newest spec and probably the most complete, mentioned on [page 14] <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7764#page-14> Depending on the library, that is used, it may be possible to select different variants. IMO it very much depends on the personal usecase, which setting makes sense. TW default MD library (remarkable-js <https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable>) supports: CommonMark + popular syntax extensions <https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable#syntax-extensions>. As Saq pointed out, the library creates it own AST, which makes it possible to pass unknown elements to the TW parser, _after_ parsing MD. BUT there are some limitations. _Not_ every combination of markdown syntax and TW syntax may produce the expected output. It is meant to be used with "prose text" and a little bit of [[link]] magic. .... THAT's it! If we want to have 100% compatibility we would need to implement our own MD variant into TW. ------------------------ There is a What if? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tiddlywiki/iC1ZNZHVU8A/hoTHllayBQAJ> thread, that I started 2017, that discusses the possibility to implement CommonMark as a subset of the TW syntax AND create a Markdown variant that defines the missing TW features. So it would be possible that "TW syntax X" would be a valid Markdown Variant. have fun! mario PS @Eric Shulman - Someone (not me) marked my thread <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tiddlywiki/iC1ZNZHVU8A/hoTHllayBQAJ> as completed.
