I'm not convinced Markdown's various flaws matter for the way I'm using it here.
I want a simple, widely-enough supported format for mixing text, code samples and images. The non-standard (because what even is a standard when Markdown is in play?) subset of Markdown I've picked for this project works fine for what I need in Showboat.
If it turns out to need more I can expand the format in the future - likely though embedding YAML in frontmatter but I could add sidecar JSON files instead if that proves to be more robust.
