HTML in Markdown

Click to expand a collapsible section

This content is hidden by default. HTML `

` elements work in most generators since they pass through raw HTML. ```powershell # Secret PowerShell tip Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource HistoryAndPlugin ```

## Admonitions > **Note**: This syntax works natively in some generators. MkDocs and Docusaurus > have their own admonition syntax. > **Warning**: Not all features render the same everywhere. That's the whole > point of this demo!
