I very rarely, if ever, encounter markdown inputs where markdown is a superset of HTML. Almost always script tags and various other sorts of active content are stripped at the very least.
- shakna 6y agoIf certain tags are being stripped, then you're probably in a position where arbitrary input isn't desirable. If this is an input to a website, for example, the webmaster really doesn't desire everyone to be able to reinvent the blink tag, or be able to express everything in rainbow fonts. In which case Markdown shines, for it's ability to express simple markup, that can be safely expressed.
