Fuck Markdown (2025)

fuck markdown

fuck markdown. fuck John Gruber, refusing to standardize the syntax.

Markdown problem, should there be an blank line before list

problem example:

the python code called is this:

in CommonMark, must there is be a newline before list or ordered list:

2026-04-18 addendum:

• grok is wrong. commonMark spec says list needs not to have a empty line above.
• so, the python markdown to html is incorrect.
• and xah's xah-html-markdown-to-html is correct, as of today.

Nested list, 2 space or 4 space indent

Python markdown to html, code block bug

Fucking idiotic python markdown to html. Does not convert code block. Jisus, what kinda idiot possibly write this? am i delusional or am i correct the industrial coders are fucking idiots?

```css
/* Traditional flat CSS */
.card {
  background: #f8f9fa;
  padding: 1rem;
  border-radius: 8px;
}

.card h2 {
  color: #333;
  margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
}
```

import markdown
import sys
print(markdown.markdown(sys.stdin.read()))

why

solution

pip install cmarkgfm

import cmarkgfm
import sys
print(cmarkgfm.github_flavored_markdown_to_html(sys.stdin.read()))
# print(cmarkgfm.markdown_to_html(sys.stdin.read()))

using lang attribute for computer language in pre tag

now, if u use python cmarkgfm package, it creates code like

<pre lang="css">

but that's incorrect use of lang.

fuck these industrial coding mathafaakers

github flavored markdown converter idiocy.

it converts QUOTATION MARK (codepoint 34) to html entity.
