But then you can't embed markdown inside the HTML, like code blocks inside a table. Sure you can use <pre><code> tags, but then you lose syntax highlighting.
Actually I've always wondered why no MD renderer supports something like
<code data-lang="js">
which it then treats the same as a
```js
code block. Or a pseudo <x-markdown> element...
- skystrife 10y agoKramdown supports this with markdown="1" as an attribute on html tags: http://kramdown.gettalong.org/syntax.html#html-blocks http://kramdown.gettalong.org/syntax.html#html-blocks
- Arnavion 10y agoNot only are you correct, you allowed me to find an equivalent feature in CommonMark! If there is an empty line between some content and its wrapping HTML tags then that content will be interpreted as markdown. So <td> ```js console.log("Hello, world!"); ``` </td> will work as expected. http://spec.commonmark.org/0.26/#example-118 http://spec.commonmark.org/0.26/#example-118 and further discussion at http://spec.commonmark.org/0.26/#example-153 http://spec.commonmark.org/0.26/#example-153 VSCode's markdown preview renderer ( https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it ) implements CommonMark, so I'm very happy right now :)
