@Mikhail Thank you so much for your reminder! I totally forgot about [helpers: Mmark support incomplete, e.g. missing EXTENSION\_ABBREVIATION · Issue #1970 · gohugoio/hugo · GitHub](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/1970)! Rest assured, mmark support in Hugo isn’t going away, but I really need to get that issue (helpers: Mmark support incomplete, e.g. missing EXTENSION\_ABBREVIATION) fixed soon. Can’t believe it has been over 2 years ago! Time flies!
