 no, I just didn't update the header, but it's on 0.0.9

markdown renders well in the asciidoc renderer, so it's backwards compatible 
 Do we have test pages for both? 
 Actually, Markdown pages don't render correctly, I need to convert them. I just looked at my own wiki pages. 
 Can you give me an example? 
 https://wikifreedia.vercel.app/pawukon-calendar/stl1988@stl1988.github.io 
 Use * instead of - for lists 
 That's already the markdown-flavor issue. Some accept -, some prefer *, some allow for both. 🙄 
 English-centricity is your solution to markdown flavor issues? 🙄 
 Here's another example, the first one of my articles I've checked

I wonder how many of my 273+ entries would actually show up correctly 
 Please don't convert. Others should instead join me in ignoring this bullshit and waiting for clients to get good at displaying articles 
 We need much more NIP-54 wiki clients all abiding to *one* standard. 
 What I also have recommended on Github, keeping event kind 30818 Markdown and creating a new event kind for Asciidoc. But... well, we see the result now. 
 This is perfect. There could be another event kind for wikitext too if nobody gets around to finding another conversion method first. Everyone would be happy. @fiatjaf please consider 
 If we were to keep Markdown it would be better to keep it in the same event kind, from a coding perspective. 
 Makes sense to me 
 * and _ and ` do, but yes, most of the other things don't. Titles are super easy to change from # to =, links also don't render correctly, but they look so much better in Asciidoc than in Markdown when you're reading the plaintext! 
 Markdown is a bless for patients of Tex PTSD 
 Also, NIP-54 isn't even changed yet. Why do we even have NIPs if people are doing what they want anyway? 
 Merging PRs into the NIPs requires implementations.

There’s a PR with the switch that’s been waiting for two months for implementations to be able to merge

The NIPs repo is DESCRIPTIVE. 
 I thought the point of the post you're replying to was that if the first devs on the standard just do whatever they want instead of adhering to the standard then that's not good for decentralization which requires growth with more devs being able to join in freely 
 That's true. Hoping you'll end up doing something based on stl1988's more NIP-54 related suggestion too 🤙

 "Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely consider it, but I'm all about marching to the beat of my own drum 🥁✨"
