# CommonMark CommonMark was created in 2012. It is the result of a standardization. CommonMark is a formal and unambiguous specification. This is important to mention because of portability. Ideally, you want the content you create using one text editor to be recognized and rendered the same way by other editors. This is especially useful when you migrate a lot of content from one tool to another. So CommonMark is important. ## References - https://commonmark.org - Specification: https://spec.commonmark.org
