Viewer shows 'Invalid markdown provided' instead of the document
What you are seeing
The viewer shows 'Invalid markdown provided' instead of the document.
#Why it happens
The document could not be rendered, and its content looks like another language rather than Markdown. The message names the language it detected.
#What to do
Confirm the file really contains Markdown. If it holds code or data with a .md extension, attach it under its real extension instead.
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Large document preview | About 1,000,000 characters | Read-only previews longer than this switch to a virtualised viewer that renders in chunks as you scroll, so browser find-in-page and similar behaviour differ. |
Raw HTML in Markdown | Not rendered | The viewer strips HTML and sanitises output, so HTML tags embedded in a Markdown document do not render. |
