No, this is the extended syntax that we are using here.

No, not for now. But there is absolutely no point in using it.

Everything should be markdown. I will implement filtering HTML tags soon when there is time for it.

Please don’t do that. What is the point of markdown in the first place then?

This will break the layout, make it impossible to render the documentation into PDF and many things more.
