Markdown syntax

support
1

Hugo uses Black Friday for markdown rendering. There are various flavors of markdown. Which one Hugo uses. Black Friday says passes Markdown test Suite 1.0.3, but Google could not find the test suite.

Is there documentation for what syntax is supported by Hugo/BlackFriday?

We should have something like https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/

Thanks, I assume it means original syntax by John Grubber.
We should have better syntax documentation, as that’s how you will write posts or documents.

  1. If you stick with this doc https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ you will not get many surprises.
  2. Hugo is a small project, not remotely enough manpower to fully document the many markdown engines. This should be done by Blackfriday (if they don’t, well, we have to live with that).
