I always get a little lol about how a perl script made by a snooty mac blogger in 2004 is the de facto way to write text on the internet, and every single implementation has its own quirks and bugs. there was an attempt made to standardize it as commonmark but everyone involved was kind of incompetent, and it has never reached 1.0 despite being used by almost every internet user. "fixing markdown" is a quest only for a foolish and everyone agrees it's better broken
