I *thought* so! The Markdown home
page<http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/>is so
limited/confusing.

Yes. I'm happy to see Markdown in more places, especially GitHub.
README.txt -> README.md

I would like to see a centralized, *maintained* website for Markdown
documentation. Perhaps we could start a Markdown-powered wiki!

Yeah, I'll post on Meta Stack Overflow to request an update of their
Markdown parser.

Back to the discussion on URL parsing...

Which versions of Markdown would it be reasonable to expect most services
to be using by now? Do we have any usage data on the various Markdown
implementations?
