Why Markdown and not **** (insert your favorite markup here)

If you would like an implementation to make it easy for developers to extend markdown, and you aren’t finding any existing implementations that suit your needs, I recommend that you take it upon yourself to build your own implementation and share it with the community.

GitHub - markdown-it/markdown-it: Markdown parser, done right. 100% CommonMark support, extensions, syntax plugins & high speed i know couple of guys, who already did it
