OK, thanks.  Now I found https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub_Flavored_Markdown .

Notebooks sounds to be a Windows application whereas I have 
Oberon and Linux.  The only browser immediately available here, 
Epiphany, doesn't recognize *.md.  Merely saves a copy of the file.

In a text editor, README.md appears to be nothing but HTML.  
If README.md is saved as README.html, then Epiphany opens it 
directly.  In fact Desktops.OpenDoc in Oberon will open it; 
although with empty scroll boxes.

Ditto!  The reference to touchscreen is really cogent. 
The personal workstation is no longer a desktop machine. 
It is a handy or tablet with a touchscreen.

Thanks^2,                 ... Lyall E.
