Hi, 
As I wrote at github issues [1], I think Markdown[3] should be a valid 
subset of TiddlyWiki markup. ... but ...

As you point out, Scrivener supports MultiMarkdown [2] which says at its 
homepage: 

MMD is a superset of the Markdown [3] syntax, originally created by John 
> Gruber. It adds multiple syntax features ...

So it adds "syntax features" that are needed by Scrivenger. I personally 
like Github and its GFM (Github Flavored Markdown) and pandoc [5] (for 
printing) that also adds its own usefull features and can handle a lot of 
syntax flavors. .....

With this list, I just want to point out, that there are several different 
usefull Markdown dialects out there. So IMO TiddlyWiki should include the 
minimum set of Markdown syntax that is still useable for "simple text". The 
rest can be plugins.

IMO even Markdown as John Gruber designed it, should be a plugin, because 
this initial definition has some shortcommings, that all the other flavors 
tried to fix. We should not include them :)

What do you guys think?

have fun!
