Markdown limitation in the user configuration panel

[BenjaminO]

Hello, I remarked that there is some limitations for the markdown syntax in this user panel README section.

 

Example 1: closing parenthesis next to a markdown link in the user panel README is not displayed.

 

 

Example 2: Fenced Code Blocks and Syntax Highlighting are not available :

 

Other examples:

1. There is no Blockquotes (>) or nested quotes (>>).
2. There is no horizontal rules with asterisks (***), dashes (---), or underscores (___).
3. There is no tables
4. etc.

I don't know what version of Alfred you're using but the 5.1 pre-release overcame an Apple bug and certainly three hyphens (dashes) now works. I do miss fence code blocks, though.

Thanks for the response @Stephen_C ! Indeed, I am using 5.0.6 which I believe is the latest release version.

Indeed, 5.0.6 is the latest stable version. In the 5.1 pre-release the parenthesis case has also been addressed already. As for the rest, the About supports a limited and documented set of markdown, it’s not aiming to support everything.

That being said, I think some improvements would still be nice.

- [Like having *renditions* in links](https://italics.ignor.ed)

- Supporting footnotes[^1]. ... [^1]: Or at least to make sure this syntax doesn't produce unexpected results.

- Some way to make ==highlights==

- Or better yet, to support Admonition Panels to draw special attention to something in the documentation:

> This is a note

 

> **Warning**
