Markdown FAQ
Does Markdown support colored tables?
Plain Markdown doesn't support colors, but you can use inline HTML inside the table (e.g., <span style="color:red">) or rely on editors with extensions. For basic documents, the standard table is sufficient.
How do I create nested numbered lists?
Indent the sub-item with two or four spaces. Example:
1. Main item
  1. Sub item
What's the difference between standard Markdown and GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
GFM supports tables, task lists, and language-specific code blocks. All examples above are compatible with GFM and most web platforms. For more details, see the GitHub Markdown Guide.
Is there a tool to convert HTML to Markdown?
You can use the advanced editor or external tools. We suggest pasting the text into the editor and using the upcoming reverse conversion feature.
