(registered 2015-10-26, last updated 2015-10-26) Identifier: CommonMark Name: CommonMark Description: CommonMark is a standard, unambiguous syntax specification for Markdown, along with a suite of comprehensive tests to validate Markdown implementations against this specification. The maintainers believe that CommonMark is necessary, even essential, for the future of Markdown. Compared to "Original", CommonMark is much longer and in a few instances contradicts "Original" based on seasoned experience. Although CommonMark specifically does not mandate any particular encoding for the input content, CommonMark draws in more of Unicode, UTF-8, and HTML (including HTML5) than "Original". This registration always refers to the latest version or an unspecified version (receiver's choice). Version 0.13 of the CommonMark specification was released 2014-12-10.
