1 The GitHub-Flavored CommonMark 1.0 syntax ({{code language="none"}}markdown+github/1.0{{/code}}) follows the [[GitHub Flavored Markdown specification>>https://github.github.com/gfm/]], for content written for GitHub. It supports the same constructs as the [[Markdown 1.2 Syntax>>doc:documentation.extensions.user.markdown.syntax.WebHome]], including the GitHub-Flavored Markdown tables, strikethrough and automatic links. The following constructs are not supported yet:
