Removed implementation-specific material from repository.

The C and JS implementations are being split off into
different repositories.

This repository will just have the spec itself.

+  * Improved rule limiting intraword `_` for emphasis and strong emphasis.
+    To prevent intra-word emphasis, we used to check to see if
+    the delimiter was followed/preceded by an ASCII alphanumeric.
+    We now do something more elegant:  whereas an opening `*` must
+    be left-flanking, an opening `_` must be left-flanking *and
+    not right-flanking*.  And so on for the other cases.
+    All the original tests passed except some tests with Russian
+    text with internal `_`, which formerly created emphasis but no
+    longer do with the new rule.  These tests have been adjusted.
+    A few new test cases have been added to illustrate the rule.
+  * Added example with link break inside pointy braces (no link) (#295).
+  * Added spec example: loose list with blank line after fenced code (#285).

+
+  * Rewrote beginning of Entities section, clarifying that only
+    entities not in code blocks or spans are decoded.
+  * Removed defective Example 449 (#284).
+  * Fixed typo (#283).
+  * Added intended two-space hard-breaks in Examples 521, 523.
+  * Clarified that brackets in general don't take precedence over emph
+    (#258).
+  * Clarified that final newline is removed from paragraph content
+    (#176).
+  * Talk of "info string" rather than "attributes" for code blocks
+    (#262).
+  * Clarified precedence of code spans, HTML tags, autolinks (#259).
+  * Fixed a number of internal links and duplicate references in the spec.
+  * Linkify "info string" in spec.
+  * Use shortcut reference links when possible in spec.txt.
+  * cmark itself is now used to build spec.html, rather than pandoc.
+  * Use shortcut reference links when possible in spec.txt. This
+    relies on the new `spec2md.py` behavior of creating references
+    for all internal anchors.
+  * Moved some examples from block to inline HTML section.
+  * Added examples of non-comments (#264).
+  * Changed rule for comments to conform to HTML5 spec.
+  * Made clear that any sequence of characters is a valid document
+    (#266).
+  * Changed wording: "is preferred" -> "takes precedence."
+  * Regularized spelling of "non-space character" and added links
+    (#260).
+  * Use four spaces rather than five to show "four spaces is too much"
+    (#261).
+

+
+  * Fixed some typos with "left-" and "right-flanking" delimiters in the
+    section on emphasis and strong emphasis (#257).
+
+[0.14]
+
+  * Clarified indented code blocks. Previously the spec said, wrongly,
+    that a blank line was needed between a paragraph and a following
+    code block.  It is only needed between a code block and a following
+    paragraph (due to lazy continuations). (Thanks to textnut.)
+  * Added definitions of whitespace, unicode whitespace, punctuation,
+    ASCII punctuation (#108).
+  * Improved rules for emphasis and strong emphasis. This improves
+    parsing of emphasis around punctuation. For background see
+    <http://talk.commonmark.org/t/903/6>. The basic idea of the change
+    is that if the delimiter is part of a delimiter clump that has
+    punctuation to the left and a normal character (non-space,
+    non-punctuation) to the right, it can only be an opener.  If it has
+    punctuation to the right and a normal character (non-space,
+    non-punctuation) to the left, it can only be a closer. This handles
+    cases like
+
+          **Gomphocarpus (*Gomphocarpus physocarpus*, syn. *Asclepias
+          physocarpa*)**
+
+    and
+
+          **foo "*bar*" foo**
+
+    better than before.
+  * Added test case for link-in-link-in-image (#252).
+  * Fixed broken internal references.
+  * Added another example of an unclarity in the canonical Markdown
+    syntax description.
+  * Reworded the principle of uniformity to be more general; it applies
+    to all container blocks, not just list items.
+  * Added a rule for empty list items (#242).
+  * Clarified precedence of empty list items over setext header lines
+    (#95).
+  * Added an example with two blank lines in fenced code in a sublist (#180).
+  * Added an explicit CC-BY-SA license to the spec (#55).
+
+[0.13]
+
+  * Updated path of test program.
+  * Use terminology "plain textual content" instead of "string."
+  * Added condition that conforming parsers strip or replace NULL characters.
+  * Changed Example 196 to reflect the spec's rules.  It should not be a loose
+    list as it has no blank lines.
+  * Adjusted semantically insignificant formatting of HTML output.
+  * Added example to spec of shortcut link with following space (#214).
