AubadeMark

here be dragons — this spec is a work-in-progress. expect quirks and breaking changes as the compiler evolves.

introduction

AubadeMark is a deliberately selective Markdown dialect built for Aubade’s content system. it maintains partial parity with CommonMark 0.31.2, though not all features are supported.

the focus is to make markdown source as human-readable as possible while keeping it convenient to write. some features are intentionally omitted, and others are adapted to fit Aubade’s content model.

deviations

• thematic breaks — must be exactly ---, ***, or ___.
• no indented code blocks — only fenced code blocks are allowed.
• no ATX closing hashes — only opening hashes are required.
• no setext headings — only ATX headings are supported.
• no implicit blockquotes — blockquotes must start with >.
• no bare links — URLs must be wrapped in <...> or used with [text](url).
• no raw HTML — disabled to prevent injection.

extensions

• heading attributes — headings include id and data-text.
• unique heading ids — automatically generated to prevent collisions.
• wrapped codeblock lines — each line wrapped in <code> tags.
• data-language — code blocks include a data-language attribute for syntax highlighting.
