While reading through the spec, I discovered the following typo in Section 5.2:

> begin with a _characer_

This is just a non-issue that does not impact ambiguity, readability, or anything of interest, really. There are likely many more typos interspersed throughout the text. However, it bugged me enough to post here.

Thanks, I think that’s fixed already in the dev version – you can check the repository and submit a PR if not!

Thank you for the link to the GitHub repository. I did not see it at [commonmark.org](http://commonmark.org), which is how I ended up here.
