Love the formatting you’ve provided. I’m no expert in MD or the various flavors so not sure what party is accountable for the following.
If I use “quote”, “highlighter”, or “callout” they are not appearing in Marked. As a matter for fact, when using “quote” the text isn’t rendered at all. The other formats are just ignored.
If I use your export to a PDF, it all looks great.
If you are conforming to the CommonMark standard and the other apps are too, shouldn’t the other apps render the same as you do?
I really don’t want to spend lots of time on formatting in yet another app just to pickup features that you don’t provide and I understand why you can’t do everything, makes total sense.
I guess I’m trying to understand what to expect with other apps that read MD files even though I realize you can’t speak for them but you can help me know what I should expect of them if this makes any sense.
Quote (blockquote) is standard Markdown, I don’t know a version that doesn’t support it, so Marked should really render it. If it’s not rendering at all, that’s surprising. Highlight and callout aren’t part of the standard; they’re more of a de-facto convention that a lot of apps support, but Marked may not.
Yes, but life isn’t perfect, and it comes down to how each app implements things.
With Lettera, we try to be as standard-compliant as possible (without being annoying about it). Unfortunately, a lot of MD editors implement only part of the standard, or don’t bother with the corner cases because it’s far easier not to. So the honest answer is: standard syntax (headings, bold, lists, blockquotes, links) travels reliably everywhere; anything beyond CommonMark: highlights, callouts, wiki-links and so on, is a gamble app to app.
The only must have reason I’m even using Marked is to create page breaks & headers & footers but I can use PDFGear for the latter.
Your PDF export is an almost perfect rendering of what you display in the editor.
What’s not working is image placement, it seems like the width setting on the image tag is being ignored. I can open another topic if you think it’s a bug.
