Specific Markdown supported?

Is there a document pointing to the specific Markdown functionality that XSOAR supports? There seem to be lots of variants on Markdown.

Hi, XSOAR supports standard Markdown.

https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/

Here are some examples working with JSON data objects:

readable_output = f'## {result}'

outputs = {

'name': name,

'hello': result

}

results = CommandResults(

outputs_prefix='HelloWorld.Result',

outputs_key_field='name',

outputs=outputs,

readable_output=readable_output,

raw_response=result

)

return results

name = 'Sample Table'

t = {'first':'Foo', 'second': 'bar', 'third': 'baz', 'forth': ''}

headers = ['Input', 'Output']

tableToMarkdown(name, t, headers=headers, removeNull=True)

Interesting, as I've noticed some differences between XSOAR and that guide.

For instance, that guide lists tables as extended (not basic), but XSOAR does support Markdown tables.

Also, that guide is sometimes vague. For instance, it notes that some Markdown applications support some HTML tags. I'd rather not engage in trial-and-error to figure out which ones I can use. Is there a comprehensive guide to the Markdown used in XSOAR?
