CommonMark

CommonMark is a standardized way of writing and reading Markdown, a lightweight language used for formatting text. It provides clear rules and syntax so that documents can be consistently rendered into formatted HTML, making writing and sharing text easier across different platforms. Think of it as a common language for text formatting that ensures everyone’s Markdown looks the same, reducing confusion and errors. CommonMark improves on the original Markdown by adding clarity, consistency, and a reliable standard, making documentation, blogs, and notes more uniform and easier to understand.
