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 content did not look like Markdown to the viewer, which names the language it detected instead of rendering the file.
#What to do
Confirm the file really contains Markdown.
#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. |
