Hi Paul,
I was hoping for a "best-of-both-worlds" approach: keep the usual XWiki
syntax working as is, and add rules to our rendering engine for the
markdown syntax elements that are different. This way one could use both
XWiki syntax and markdown syntax in the same document seamlessly (a bit
like right now you can mix HTML content with markdown content), without
breaking the WYSIWYG editor.
I think Vincent made it abundantly clear that this was utopian and I was
underestimating the underlying complexity :-)
As for the relative popularity of markdown syntax WRT to ASCIIdoc and XWiki
syntax, I don't have hard numbers, but right now Markdown is the de facto
standard for many developer-focused apps in a way that the other 2 are not.
Thanks,
Guillaume

Hi Paul,
Cool.
Would it be possible to join the fashion claim by adding compatibility
statements?
E.g., does that make it compatible with some markdown variant? Is
GitHub's MarkDown somewhere close?
It’s already mentioned on that page: "The Markdown 1.0 syntax in XWiki
supports only the features provided by the PegDown parser, “
You then need to go to the Pegdown page to see what markdown it supports:

Thanks

more of the xwiki syntax.
