Preview is slightly different than my Steam review appeared. #8

Hello! First of all, thanks for this awesome project!

I used your website and I just noticed that the appearance between your preview and the review as it appeared after posting it in Steam were not the same. Look at the spacing right after the first bolded paragraph. Screenshot from 2021-12-01 03-18-30

I suspect this is because of the combination of bolding and header format.

Here is the markup code and entire review, as made by your website: ReviewWithMarkupCode.txt

Thanks again, and I hope to use your website in the future!

Hi there! Thanks for using the tool and giving some useful feedback 😄

I had been working on a bigger update for the tool which had an improved preview (possibly multiple preview layouts too), and more tools for formatting, but I've been delayed on that with my regular work schedule. It's still something I'll complete though and I hope to apply some fixes to address your concerns as well.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd want to see from a v2!

Just following up on this since I'm a bit more active on this repo recently. One important note is that Steam's own styling practices haven't been quite as consistent as I'd like. Reviews can look different depending on the area of the website you're on, as well as your screen dimensions. I don't know if Valve has improved this in recent years, so I could try to take a look when I get some time.

However, please note that this tool is really intended to give you a reasonable idea how your review would look on the Steam platform. There are multiple screens to consider, and I'm definitely not able to keep track of all their changes outside of major design changes. In the vast majority of cases, this works fine for users, but I will take another look at any other changes that can be refined in the coming days/weeks.

I can't complain! Thank you for your work, and your now continued interest. If I can be of any help, I probably have the free time, haha.
