Markdown edge cases we handle
Frontmatter handling
Jekyll/Hugo frontmatter (---) can be stripped or preserved depending on your target platform.
Inline HTML pass-through
Raw HTML inside Markdown is passed through as-is per CommonMark spec.
Auto-link detection
Bare URLs are auto-linked to `<a href>` elements in GFM mode.
Code-fence language class
Language hints output as `class="language-js"` (not `lang-js`) for compatibility with highlight.js and Prism.
Frequently asked questions
Does it preserve frontmatter?
You can choose to strip or preserve YAML frontmatter. Jekyll and Hugo users typically want it stripped before embedding.
Will inline HTML be passed through?
Yes — raw HTML inside Markdown is passed through unchanged per the CommonMark spec.
What dialect — GFM or CommonMark?
GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown), which adds tables, task lists, and strikethrough on top of CommonMark.
Can I get the rendered preview?
Yes — the output panel has both an HTML tab and a rendered preview tab.
Are tables converted to semantic HTML?
Yes. GFM pipe-table syntax converts to full <table>/<thead>/<tbody>/<tr>/<th>/<td> structure.
