Our [Markdown user documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/user/markdown.md) states: >>> You can use GitLab Flavored Markdown in: * Comments * Issues * Epics * Merge requests * Milestones * Snippets (the snippet must be named with a `.md` extension) * Wiki pages * Markdown documents inside repositories * Releases >>> Note the inclusion of "Snippets" and "Markdown documents inside repositories". It also lists [extensions to standard Markdown](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/user/markdown.md#differences-with-standard-markdown) that we offer, one of which is "[GitLab-specific references](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/user/markdown.md#gitlab-specific-references)". These are not available in either Markdown documents inside repositories or `.md` snippets (essentially the same thing), and we should document this to avoid confusion.
