Thanks for explaining and for taking another look at the issue. Your comment makes sense to me in context of your company's strategy. I'm not saying that's wrong, as surely the breath allows you to gain an niche that is less competitive and less risky than a depth strategy that forces you to compete head to head with great products like notion... but as this thread shows it has enormous downside.

But anyway the double brackets is not a Gollum feature. It's a wiki thing, going back to wikipedia.

Since you're here I think this issue is also misprioritized: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/66898 You should reconsider as a lot of integrations rely on webhooks and broken images make the whole thing impossible.

That's fair, the point was that it's syntax specific to the wiki system vs. the rest of our markdown filters.

I'll take a look at this - it popped on to my radar recently but I need to dig in further to understand the use case and functionality here. Thanks for bringing it up.
