I use Markdown a lot, and the renderers I’ve used support embedded native HTML, so you can mix MD and HTML in the same document (and even style tags if needed), but you wouldn’t necessarily use that to build an entire form.
- giantrobot 4y agoMarkdown as source that gets converted to HTML isn't the issue. The issue is the suggestion that browsers support native Markdown rendering and sites just deliver raw Markdown content because "it's simple". To your point, delivering raw Markdown to the browser means the browser needs to implement a renderer that supports inline HTML. If you're doing that you might as well just deliver that Markdown pre-rendered as HTML. Then you can be sure the browser will get the inline HTML that way it was intended. Markdown is great for writing "plain" text that's perfectly readable by humans but can be trivially converted to some delivery format. It's not really fit for purpose as a delivery format.
