Change markdown parser

[ghost]

currently kramdown is the default parser:

motyl/bin/motyl

Lines 16 to 20 in 4585fff

	require 'date'
	require 'fileutils'
	require 'kramdown'
	require 'mustache'
	require 'yaml'

however this can cause some issues, as kramdown is quite different from
CommonMark/GFM:

• ")" not supported as ordered list marker gettalong/kramdown#558
• URLs are not autolinked in GFM mode gettalong/kramdown#306
• Support starting numbered lists with arbitrary number gettalong/kramdown#211
• Add an option to support CommonMark or support it by default gettalong/kramdown#197

and the kramdown author is unwilling or unable to fix these issues, for several
years now. after some hand wringing i discovered that a proper commonmark
implementation is available:

No, those are non issues for Motyl.

Kramdown was selected because it is a pure-Ruby implementation with zero dependencies.

There is nothing to gain by switching to another Gem with a dependency on a C library, as it will cause packaging issues for operating systems.

there is nothing to gain?

certainly there is else i wouldnt have posted this issue

what is to gain is a commonmark compliant converter

i respect your reason to close but perhaps dont mislead any who might visit this page.
