Thanks for doing this.

It would be great if there was an explainer that simply had comparisons between different flares of MD - e.g Github flavoured. We are working on an open source project with 80k words in MD at the moment an the small syntax stuff is a nightmare.

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree with you! I've started working on something similar to what you've described, but it's going to take me some time -- it's an enormous undertaking.

In the meantime, you might want to check out this tool: http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2

Thanks that would be really really helpful. We deal with all kinds of volunteer translators and are always having trouble and mess ups because of it. Having somewhere to point them to would be great!

Also thanks for the tool. Great suggestion!
