Description Marián Konček 2022-07-07 07:43:09 UTC
(Tested on Fedora 35)
If a markdown document contains (or at least starts with XML comments in the form of `<!-- ... -->`, Then it does not render the rest of the document properly.
Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2022-08-05 22:13:56 UTC
Please attach such a file for testing.
Comment 2 Marián Konček 2022-08-06 09:02:17 UTC
Sure, here:
https://github.com/osgi/osgi/blob/4ba3d49d9cc4b71dc1ed65ad8300d93e294601b6/README.md
https://github.com/raphw/byte-buddy/blob/94c0a54ca030ad1ae390015373376118e9fd83d5/README.md

I don't know whether XML is allowed in MD documents but KDE's syntax highlighter highlights XML nodes in MD documents when the file it opened in Kate for example.

No, but neither those are rendered by Okular and contain XML nodes.

I used a wrong example, i downloaded it with wget, but the whole webpage, not just the document...

In any case I do remember other cases where this issue happened as I am a package maintainer and there was some case of such a document present in the sources.
