@MetalSamurai @sukima @atomicpoet @fediversenews @quephird it’s a shame that your fork of the Markdown code to change it to what you believe is the proper syntax, never caught on.

It wasn’t some big committee that “got it wrong”, it was a guy, who did it for his own use, so he could write blog posts as plain text, and it caught on.

You can write your own and attempt to win Markdown users over to your side, but it’s an uphill battle. Common usage often wins over “better” (see QWERTY vs Dvorak).
