Extended Syntax
With the evolution of Markdown, other elements were implemented, enriching the range of options for formatting documents. On the one hand, a little more complexity, but on the other, the language gained more resources for the construction of different documents.
Keep in mind that not all applications developed for Markdown support these elements, it is always a good idea to consult the program documentation or the tools section.
