Does bitbucket comply fully with the CommonMark spec for markdown?

Like the heading said

I'm trying to do something simple like centering a heading. Is it possible?

If not, you should probably reword your markdown syntax guide here:

Not cool to have a link to the CommonMark spec if you don't support it fully..

Doesn't seem to be compatible what comes to lists, if there is no blank line before the list items, it's all rendered in one line. This becomes pretty obvious nowadays with AI tool output which is often in Markdown.

@Cobus Linde You linked the documentation of Bitbucket Data Server (and the legacy Server), but I think you are asking about Bitbucket Cloud

I think this is what you need: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/readme-content/
