gollark: I think it's not even unambiguous, given weirdness with having a bunch of `*`s together.
gollark: It's also nightmarish to parse.
gollark: Markdown is a horrible mess compatibility-wise because the original wasn't really standardized at all, so implementations were just based off a buggy Perl program, and *now* we have standards but there are a ton of different ones with mutual incompatibilities, and some applications randomly have or don't have some features.
gollark: Nope!
gollark: It's kind of weird that Discord markdown doesn't support lists.
