Contributing

This project adheres to the Open Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to honor this code.

This library's only job is to decide which markup format to use and call out to an external library to convert the markup to HTML (see the README for more information on how markup is rendered on GitHub.com).

If you are having an issue with:

• Syntax highlighting - see github/linguist
• Markdown on GitHub - contact support@github.com
• Styling issues on GitHub - see primer-markdown module in the primer/primer-css repository

Anything else - search open issues or create an issue and and we'll help point you in the right direction.
