[code-of-conduct]: http://todogroup.org/opencodeofconduct/#GitHub%20Markup/opensource@github.com

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](README.md) for more information on how markup is rendered on GitHub.com).

If you are having an issue with:

* **Syntax highlighting** - see [github/linguist](https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#fixing-syntax-highlighting)
* **Markdown on GitHub** - contact support@github.com
* **Styling issues on GitHub** - see [primer/markdown](https://github.com/primer/markdown)

Anything else - [search open issues](https://github.com/github/markup/issues) or create an issue and and we'll help point you in the right direction.
