Everything you see on tour browser is rendered as HTML... Markdown is just an easier way to input formatted text

oh. you're wondering why markdown isn't formatted nicely in gossip? so it's actually specified in [NIP01](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md) to not parse and render Markdown.

> Content that must be parsed, such as Markdown and HTML, should not be used. Clients should also not parse content as those.

I'm not really sure why, but I don't think any Nostr clients actually show notes as HTML instead of just raw Makrkdown.

I mean using [markdown][3] to render html. This is somehow done by this website (that's why links are properly formatted in my posts) and by other sites such as [bitcoin.stackexchange][1]. It can also be done client-side - I render html on my desktop with [pollen][2]
