Currently, in the MANUAL.txt
line 3816, it mentions that both gfm
and markdown_github
are equivalent to a bunch of pandoc markdown extensions. But as far as I understand, gfm
is a very different beast, and should not be understood as a bunch of pandoc markdown extensions activated, right?
I didn’t make a pull request on this however, because I think more expanded description on the gfm
variant is needed. For example, I guess it is impossible to add extension to gfm
, unlike other variants (where the MANUAL.txt
has mentioned this briefly at line 284). And for example I would have a question on how extra gfm
extension that pandoc doesn’t have will be handled, e.g. the gfm
checkbox.
