gollark: Markdown cheatsheets are also not usable as a Markdown spec. Markdown does not actually *have* a spec, so we have a wild west of incompatible implementations. Some try to mimic the original perl script, some just do approximately the right thing in most cases, some do the easy thing in case of weirdness, some follow one of many subtly incompatible formal specs.
gollark: It is probably a highlight.js issue.
