I'm creating HTML to drop into a entry on the Teachable.com website. I was hoping to use Markdown Monster for this, but when I save the code to an HTML file, it adds a significant amount of (formatting?) content. It looks like Teachable balks at the content if I try to enter it.

Conversely, the raw HTML is too lean and looks ugly on their site.

Am I missing an easy way to output HTML with the bare minimum of formatting information?

Thanks, Scott

Not sure what you're expecting to get from the output. You either get raw output that you have to provide your own styling for, or you get templated output from our templates that require the dependencies that are used by the templates.

How Output is Rendered

There are a number of ways you can get output but generally in two formats:

• Raw Rendered Html from Markdown
• Template based Html (renders raw Markdown into template)

The issue here is that either you have RAW output and your host application handles the formatting of the resulting HTML, or you use our templates to provide the formatting. The Html output option provides those options in various ways.

Raw Html works if you plop into some other content management solution (ie. GitHub, Blog Engine) etc. but it won't work for raw display because all the images and styling will be missing.

Rendered Html output has all the styling we provide so either you have to publish the folder (that's the Folder Export) with all the dependencies, or you create a packaged file that embeds all the resources into the HTML.

If you need something different you can create your own Preview Render Themes that can do its own more minimal styling and then generate your output from that.

Basically you create the 'Html Wrapper' around your content and YOU determine the styles and - if you choose - dependency files. But at the end of the day you need to choose either Raw or Formatted output.
