Is there such a thing as a grammar-checker I can feed Markdown into, and get GCC-style "filename:line:column:message" records out the other side?

"Markdown implementations have diverged considerably over the last 10 years. As a result, users are often surprised to find that a document that renders one way on one system (say, a GitHub wiki) renders differently on another (say, converting to docbook using Pandoc)"

Since there are so many different variations of Markdown that exist the first question should probably be: Which Markdown do you ask about? John Gruber's original (and unmaintained) version from 2004? GitHub's version of it? Or PHP's version of Markdown? Or Pandoc's version? Or maybe CommonMark? Or maybe one of the other variations?
