Renderer output is different to actual Github output

[axic]

The below sample markdown renders the numbers without restarting in Atom, while on Github (here) the third point will restart from 1. Perhaps it is an edge case I shouldn't rely on. Not sure which renderer is correct, but I like the output from Atom :)

1. test
2. test

hello

1. test

Moved from atom/atom#9818. Sorry if this issue is already reported.

Until the GitHub website and Atom use the exact same Markdown renderer (or both switch to CommonMark-compliant renderers), I don't think this is going to be fixed. There simply is too much ambiguity in Markdown for different parsers to match exactly in all cases. See CommonMark.

I hoped it would be the same renderer given Atom comes from Github. Good to know, thanks.

As a note, the above renders on try.commonmark.org as in Atom. Hopefully that means Github will need to catch up at some point.

I was working with GitHub support on a markdown issue and found out that they moved to CommonMark:

We recently updated our markdown renderer to CommonMark:

I think that means this issue could move forward.
