Adding markdown (sometimes) renders a blank markdown screen

  Adding markdown sometimes renders the preview markdown screen blank. If I cut and paste the text into a markdown validator or just cut out the text it works.

  I can narrow down the part that has the problem by taking out bits of the markdown text until the preview works. Sometimes just pasting back the original text works!?

  Is there a way to show validation in simplenote to highlight any part of the markdown that it does not like? Would be extremely useful as having to do this more and more and on long notes it is very time consuming.

  Hi, @nampara17! Which app are you using (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, web app)? And which version is it?

  Using the web via chrome. Seems to be when I put in “my” email address? E.g. the email address I use with the system. Weird, just the addition of the email address makes the whole note go blank?

  @nampara17 I am unable to reproduce the behavior you described. Can you provide a sample of markdown text that did not work so we can test this on our end?

  Here is a simple page, basically ANY PAGE that contains your email address will create a blank page: This is all contained on one page.

  test for the markdown preview issues

  My email address:
  (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Once I put in my email address, in preview the whole page is blank!!

  Yes, I met the same issue. It only occurs on the web and PC versions. the same note’s markdown rendering on the iPhone App has no issues

  What I did is adding a code block on the email address.

  Hope to fix it soon.

  Running 2.22.0 beta and still has the issue?

  Please note this is not related to “ANY” email – JUST the email address of the “logged in user“. All other email addresses work fine.
