# Plain Markdown stays plain

This page is `markdown.md`. Darkmown renders it with a real CommonMark parser and adds nothing — no runtime, no directives, no surprises.

## Everything CommonMark works

1. Ordered lists
2. With proper numbering
   1. And nesting

> Blockquotes render correctly, including **inline emphasis**.

| Feature | Status |

## Directives stay inert here

The next line is `.wd` syntax, left as plain text on purpose:

:state count = 0

And `{ count }` braces in prose are just braces: { count }

Rename this file to `markdown.wd` and all of it comes alive. That is the whole upgrade path.
