Hi! The code you're referencing (this) is mostly HTML. Unlike a web browser, Glow will only parse and render Markdown.

If we've got this wrong, please feel free to reopen.

@meowgorithm thank you for your response. The markdown document that I provided is a mix of markdown and HTML. Markdown has always supported HTML and I respectfully can't understand your closing this issue unless you are saying that Glow isn't fully makrdown compliant. Have you tried rendering this document and exploring its result in the browser's dev tools? As I mentioned in my OP, GitHub has no problem rendering the markdown document that I provided nor do numerous online markdown preview tools. I respectfully suggest that whatever library you are using to parse markdown is the underlying issue. Many of these libraries are broken, not well maintained or even abandoned projects.

@meowgorithm I failed to mention that if you are claiming that Glow isn't fully markdown compliant then I would respectfully urge you to state that on your website and in Glow's documentation.
