### Transition from Redcarpet to CommonMark ### Differences between GitLab Flavored Markdown and standard Markdown
- In GitLab 11.8, the [Redcarpet Ruby library](https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet) GitLab uses standard CommonMark formatting. However, GitLab Flavored Markdown
was removed. All issues and comments, including those in 11.1 and earlier, are now processed extends standard Markdown with features made specifically for GitLab.
by using the [CommonMark Ruby Library](https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker).
- In GitLab 11.3 and later, CommonMark processes wiki pages and Markdown
files (`*.md`) in repositories.
- In GitLab 11.1 and later, the [CommonMark Ruby Library](https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker)
for Markdown processes all new issues, merge requests, comments, and other Markdown
content.
The documentation website migrated its Markdown engine
[from Redcarpet to Kramdown](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/merge_requests/108)
in October 2018.
You may have older issues, merge requests, or Markdown documents in your
repository that relied upon nuances of the GitLab RedCarpet version
of Markdown. Because CommonMark uses slightly stricter syntax, these documents
may now appear differently after the transition to CommonMark.
For example, numbered lists with nested lists may
render incorrectly:
```markdown
1. Chocolate
- dark
- milk
```
To fix this issue, add a space to each nested item. The `-` must be aligned with the first
character of the top list item (`C` in this case):
```markdown
1. Chocolate
- dark
- milk
```
1. Chocolate
- dark
- milk
We flag any significant differences between Redcarpet and CommonMark Markdown in this document.
If you have many Markdown files, it can be tedious to determine
if they display correctly or not. You can use the
[`diff_redcarpet_cmark`](https://gitlab.com/digitalmoksha/diff_redcarpet_cmark)
tool to generate a list of files and the
differences between how RedCarpet and CommonMark render the files. It indicates
if any changes are needed.
`diff_redcarpet_cmark` is not an officially supported product.

### Special GitLab references
GitLab Flavored Markdown recognizes special GitLab related references. For example, you can reference
an issue, a commit, a team member, or even an entire project team. GitLab Flavored Markdown turns
that reference into a link so you can navigate between them.
Additionally, GitLab Flavored Markdown recognizes certain cross-project references and also has a shorthand
version to reference other projects from the same namespace.
GitLab Flavored Markdown recognizes the following:
| references | input | cross-project reference | shortcut inside same namespace |
| :------------------------------ | :------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- | :----------------------------- |

For example, referencing an issue by using `#123` formats the output as a link
to issue number 123 with text `#123`. Likewise, a link to issue number 123 is
recognized and formatted with text `#123`. If you don't want `#123` to link to an issue,
add a leading backslash `\#123`.
In addition to this, links to some objects are also recognized and formatted. Some examples of these are:
- Comments on issues: `"https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/1234#note_101075757"`, which are rendered as `#1234 (comment 101075757)`

## Transition from Redcarpet to CommonMark
- In GitLab 11.8, the [Redcarpet Ruby library](https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet)
was removed. All issues and comments, including those in 11.1 and earlier, are now processed
by using the [CommonMark Ruby Library](https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker).
- In GitLab 11.3 and later, CommonMark processes wiki pages and Markdown
files (`*.md`) in repositories.
- In GitLab 11.1 and later, the [CommonMark Ruby Library](https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker)
for Markdown processes all new issues, merge requests, comments, and other Markdown
content.
The documentation website migrated its Markdown engine
[from Redcarpet to Kramdown](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/merge_requests/108)
in October 2018.
You may have older issues, merge requests, or Markdown documents in your
repository that relied upon nuances of the GitLab RedCarpet version
of Markdown. Because CommonMark uses slightly stricter syntax, these documents
may now appear differently after the transition to CommonMark.
For example, numbered lists with nested lists may
render incorrectly:
```markdown
1. Chocolate
- dark
- milk
```
To fix this issue, add a space to each nested item. The `-` must be aligned with the first
character of the top list item (`C` in this case):
```markdown
1. Chocolate
- dark
- milk
```
1. Chocolate
- dark
- milk
We flag any significant differences between Redcarpet and CommonMark Markdown in this document.
If you have many Markdown files, it can be tedious to determine
if they display correctly or not. You can use the
