Isn't markdown literally just HTML shortcuts for a limited set of common markup cases? IIRC, it's not uncommon to have to insert HTML tagging into markdown to get certain things to work.
- habitue 6y agoMarkdown compiles to html, and if I had to guess, it's probably a superset of html? (Maybe, possibly not all html is valid markdown, I haven't checked) Assuming it's a superset though, the part I was talking about above was the (markdown - html) part, where markdown adds less noisy syntax for bolding, headings, lists etc.
