But too insane, and did not keep up with internet age, and so Ciro wants to kill it now.
Default mathematics typesetting used in OurBigBook Markup.

newcommanddid not support optional arguments
Too insane though due to LaTeX roots, better just move to newer HTML-first markups like OurBigBook Markup or markdown.
The questions are: who is this Mark, and why does he have to go down?
If it only it were written in JavaScript instead of Haskell (!?), then Ciro might have used it as the basis for OurBigBook Markup.
Ciro Santilli was contributing to this, when CommonMark left private mode and killed it, thus wasting many hours of Ciro's time.

CommonMark is a good project. But its initial release method was not very nice, they first developed everything behind closed doors with the big adopters like GitHub and Stack Overflow, and only later released the thing read, thus wasting the time of people who were working on alternative in the meanwhile, e.g. github.com/karlcow/markdown-testsuite which Ciro contributed to: Ciro Santilli's minor projects.

A markup language describes annotations embedded in or associated with document content. Its syntax distinguishes ordinary content from instructions identifying structure, meaning or presentation. HTML is a concrete example: a paragraph and an emphasized phrase can be represented explicitly instead of inferred from their appearance.[ref]
For example,
<p>Save <em>your work</em>.</p> identifies a paragraph containing an emphasized phrase. The angle-bracketed HTML tags mark elements; the words between them supply content. A web browser can build a Document Object Model from this source, then use CSS to choose its presentation. Changing the emphasis styling need not change which phrase is structurally emphasized.The syntax needs a way to represent its own reserved characters as content. In HTML,
< can represent a literal less-than character in text rather than starting a tag. A document explaining markup therefore needs to distinguish a displayed example from active markup that the parser interprets as document structure.[ref]A markup language is useful when documents must be transformed, searched or rendered according to their structure. It does not follow that every source annotation creates a visible box, or that a visible line break implies a particular structural element. Source syntax, the parsed document and the final rendering are related representations with different jobs.
A markup language is a system for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text. The annotations specify how the text should be structured and formatted, which can affect its presentation or data representation. Markup languages are widely used in web development, document processing, and data interchange. Here are some key characteristics and examples of markup languages: ### Key Characteristics: 1. **Tags**: Markup languages commonly use tags to denote the beginning and end of elements.
