    GitHub's fork of cmark, a CommonMark parsing and rendering library and program in C

  • Actually it was implemented in Nov 2017, but only deployed/enabled for GitHub Pages.

    https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm/pull/64

    See this comment: https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm/pull/64#issuecomment-401...

  • markup

    Determines which markup library to use to render a content file (e.g. README) on GitHub

  • I thought it only rendered files in the repo (match by extension). Does GH also allow asciidoc(tor) syntax in comments and issues?

    * Note: Sadly, include is not supported on GH. https://github.com/github/markup/issues/1095

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
