Update defaults to match CommonMark & Github conventions #425

Open zm-cttae opened 1 year ago

zm-cttae commented 1 year ago

Closes #424.
This pull introduces the CommonMark (now Github flavor, Reddit flavor) conventions that people use.

CommonMark is so popular compared to Josh Gruber's original Markdown spec that we should favor it.

@pavelhoral please review!

domchristie commented 1 year ago

Are these defaults specified anywhere? (FWIW the current defaults originate from the John Gruber’s original markdown spec)

zm-cttae commented 1 year ago

John Gruber's spec - the first set of conventions - aren't really used as much nowadays 🤔

These GitHub conventions are all listed here, but never explained as "conventions":

zm-cttae commented 1 year ago

Good news 🎉 - CommonMark's Markdown reference help page clearly matches and favours these conventions Per https://commonmark.org/help/

There is a type in the commit, codeBlockStyle should be fenced not fence.

Cheers thanks for that @acnebs

br shouldn't be change from hard break '␠␠' to soft break '\n'. When converting to HTML, Common mark states that conversion of hard break is to br, but soft break stays as '\n'. In HTML, '\n' is shown as a space unless the element is style with the various pre styles

Done @huan086
