@bithive @timpritlove Me too, because it has a specification from the beginning and not a post specification effort as common mark.
However, Markdown is easy to learn and suits use cases that are enough for many users.
#Markdown Is a Disaster: Why and What to Do Instead
https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/
Here's my article where I summarize the subtle and no so subtle downsides when you choose Markdown for your information instead of a different markup syntax that doesn't come with all the downsides of #MD.

I'm trying to add a vertical timeline to my sphinx project. There is an extension that does this? The `sphinx-timeline` is only horizontal.
Ideally I could add internal links in the description or bubble too.
🚀️ rst2gemtext v0.5.0 released!
I just released a new version of my lib to convert reStructuredText to Gemtext (the Gemini markup language).
➡️ https://github.com/flozz/rst2gemtext/releases/tag/v0.5.0
This version fixes an ImportError with newer versions of docutils and improved the outputed gemtext.
#reStructuredText, which pre-dates #Markdown, has always been superior for my purposes @danielittlewood.
#reStructuredText의 단점 중 하나는 속칭 위키링크(wikilink) 문법이 없다는 것이다. [[page]] 대신 :doc:`title <page>`로 적어야 한다. (:ref:`title`도 된다고 한다.) 많이 쓰면 익숙해지긴 하겠지만 일단은 [[page]]로 적어 놓고 나중에 고칠 거 같다. 장점도 물론 있다. 하지만 위키가 아니라 하이퍼 링크로 인식하게 될 것이다. 위키라는 개념은 이러한 문법 하나에서 시작한 것일 수도 있을 것 같다.
