Question

Fletcher Penney created a “Multi” extension of this format compatible with LaTeX (“LAY-tech”). The most popular implementation of this format is only on version 0.30 (15[1])despite being worked on for over 8 years, due to unresolved decisions like the formatting of atx headers. That implementation’s spec (15[1])was written by Berkeley philosopher John MacFarlane. In 2014, StackOverflow (-5[1])founder Jeff Atwood announced a standardization effort for this format called “Standard (15[1])[this format]”, though that name was changed to “Common [this format]” after objections from its (15[1])co-creator (*) John Gruber. Reddit uses an extension of this format that supports things like spoilertext, (10[1]-5[1])while (10[1])GitHub has its own (10[1])“GitHub Flavored” version that implements (10[1])strikethroughs with pairs of tildes. For 10 points, name this text format commonly used for blogging and code documentation, such as in GitHub’s README.md (“read me dot m-d”) files. ■END■ (10[1])
