My line breaks aren't showing up

Markdown treats single newlines as spaces. You need either two trailing spaces at the end of a line (creates a ` `) or a blank line between paragraphs.

My list isn't rendering as a list

you need a blank line before the first list item. Also check indentation — nested lists need consistent spacing (2 or 4 spaces).

Inline code with backticks inside it

use double backticks: ``` ``code with `backtick` inside`` ```. The outer backticks delimit, the inner ones render literally.

My table looks broken

tables require a header separator row: `| --- | --- |`. Without it, most parsers won't recognize it as a table. Also, GFM tables don't work in basic CommonMark parsers.

Raw HTML isn't rendering

most Markdown parsers pass HTML through untouched, but some platforms sanitize it for security. GitHub strips ` `, ` `, and event handlers.

Special characters are being interpreted as formatting

escape them with backslash: `\*`, `\#`, `\[`. Works for all Markdown special characters.
