GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)

What is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?

An extended markdown specification — the one GitHub uses — that adds tables, task lists, and strikethrough on top of standard markdown.

Why it matters

It's the de facto standard most modern markdown tools, knowdust included, support — so notes written in it stay portable.

How it works

Everything in the markdown cheatsheet works in knowdust and in any GFM-compatible editor.
