Also,
GitLab uses “GitLab Flavored Markdown” (GFM). It extends the CommonMark specification (which is based on standard Markdown) in several ways to add additional useful functionality. It was inspired by GitHub Flavored Markdown.
Keeping this in consideration, The GitLab documentation website and the main GitLab website use Kramdown instead. You should not view this page in the documentation, but instead view these styles as they appear on GitLab . GitLab Flavored Markdown extends the CommonMark specification .

Indeed,
GitHub Flavored Markdown, often shortened as GFM, is the dialect of Markdown that is currently supported for user content on GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise.

Just so,
Not all Markdown applications support extended syntax elements. You’ll need to check whether or not the lightweight markup language your application is using supports the extended syntax elements you want to use. If it doesn’t, it may still be possible to enable extensions in your Markdown processor.
