Hi,
If you try to export MarkDown document, it comes out as html with .md extension. If you then try to open the file with MarkDown supporting viewer it show all the html tags there as text.

Hello,

That sounds weird. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue. I used to document to md.

It was a long time since I did the md documentation but I think I did include some html in there to format it properly. At least I did that while testing. MD formatting alone did not look good enough and had limited functionality. I think table in table was mot working and required html.

Cheers!

I'm getting the same issue, can I force it temporarily somehow?

Hello,

I had a look at this. It is by design as it is now. The MD standard should support some html and I used this for multiple reasons:

  • Table in table
  • Enhanced formatting
  • Code in table
  • Expanded cells

Native MD would not be very good for it. I know I struggled a lot with the MD output before changing some parts to html.

What reader do you use that does not support html?

I am not sure how a native MD output would look like. Might be work on some policies but not for all of them,

Cheers!
