Good morning, Why have you folks ever chosen Markdown? Using a blog template because I want to use Elements to publish my weblog, I get problem after problem. Just one thing to illustrate, I don’t want to complain to much. Below I’ll paste a blog snippet. Can anyone explain me why the second link i…

I’m not sure if I’m understanding correctly what you mean. Basically, both are Markdown links and both “work.” Both the first link and the second one.

This perfectly illustrates my problem with Markdown. My browser seems to decide how to show the code. I showed my screenshot from Safari above and you show your screenshot from Safari. And they differ in several ways. Not only the first link , but also the blockquote and the heading are different. I…

Hi Pouwel, I am uncertain as to why one of your links is showing up differently. @dan I have discovered that how Markdown appearance is controlled by the Typography settings. I found that the standard Theme Typography - “article” did not give me what I wanted for Markdown. So I created a Custom Ty…

Hi Edward, Thanks for all this. I did already make some changes to the Typography component before I started this thread. That’s probably the reason why my screenshot differs from your screenshot. I suppose you pasted my Markdown in one of your own projects and then made a screenshot. But I didn’…
