As a word of warning here, not all Markdown parsers and renderers are the same. GitHub's makes a number of additions and changes that go against the original (admittedly vague) spec. This could mean your previews are different and may not match the documentation build. An alternative approach would be to build the docs in CI and link to the built version in a comment on both systems. > > Please let us know, what you think about this? > > Regards, > Kunaal > > > -- > Regards, > Kunaal Jain > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-docs mailing list > CentOS-docs at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs >
