The site's markdown rendering is significantly different from github's.

The problem

I was about to make a contribution to a page when I noticed that what I thought was a typo was actually a disparity in the way leanxinyminutes and github handle markdown.

Possible fix

I'm not a ruby programmer, but from what I dug up it might be a good idea to switch from Middleman's default RedCarpet, to something that implements github flavored markdown.

This way, both contributors and auditors could rely on/count with github's md preview, instead of cloning the site/building the site every time.

GitHub uses https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker which Middleman doesn't support https://github.com/middleman/middleman/issues/2420
