GitHub Flavored Markdown

If I use GitHub to host my blog, and write the content in Markdown, then we not use GitHub Flavored Markdown. There are a few difference that are most relevant to me.

Fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting instead of four spaces:

1
2
3
(function(){
  // Do something
}());

instead of four spaces:

(function(){
  // Do something
}());

Which is essentially the same, but GitHub flavored is better, since sometimes I write code block in Google Docs, and the syntax highlighting.

And don’t forget that emoji emoticons are supported. :smile: :smiley: :laughing:
