I tried opening the .md file in different text reading applications. However, the text display varied from one application to another.

Some apps display the hyphen normally, while others display a circle instead of the hyphen. Selecting text and navigating by title does not work everywhere.

But what’s more outrageous is that paragraphs and indents don’t work. The text just randomly blurs in different directions.

Why is there such chaos with displaying text in this format?

    If you want separate paragraphs

    you have to leave one empty line between them.

    If you create a list in markdown, does it really matter how the list markers are represented?
