Concordion Markdown vs Concordion HTML

Question

According to the Concordion Getting Started guide:

Note: Since v2.0, Concordion also supports Markdown specifications, which are easier to read and write than HTML. However, HTML provides a richer language, so may be preferred for complex scenarios.

What can you do in HTML in a Concordion SPE that you cannot do in Markdown?

Answer 1

From the Concordion syntax point of view, one is handling unusual sentence structures. Another is using the Collapse Extension with Markdown.

Note that we are in the process of updating our Markdown parser from Pegdown to Flexmark, which may open up opportunities to do a bit more in Markdown.
