Re: Markup border outdated in spec?

[kim . lindberger]

Hi Bastien!

I believe Nicolas Goaziou fixed this in the spec already. I sent this
in two times because my first message got stuck, but eventually both
were sent to the list; I'm sorry for the confusion.

The use-case where I ran into this issue, if you're curious, is the
README.org file here https://github.com/talyz/fromElisp. As you can
see, some of the function names under the `Other functions` are
rendered incorrectly by the GitHub renderer, but renders and exports
just fine in Org.

Best regards,
Kim
