Thanks for the report!

We noticed that this is a duplicate of https://github.com/atom/language-gfm/issues/117. You may want to subscribe there for updates.

Because we treat our issues list as the Atom team's backlog, we close duplicates to focus our work and not have to touch the same chunk of code for the same reason multiple times. This is also why we may mark something as duplicate that isn't an exact duplicate but is closely related.

For information on how to use GitHub's search feature to find out if something is a duplicate before filing, see the How Can I Contribute? section of the Atom CONTRIBUTING guide.

I'm Apologize. I didn't notice that report when I searched for duplicates (and it's the first search item... I don't know how I missed it!)... My bad.

I'll follow the issue over there.

Thanks for your time and your patience.
