Is HTML really that much worse to edit than MD?

Markdown is essentially just syntactic sugar for HTML[0], so yes it was made to be easier to edit than HTML.

Let’s see…

    *No!*

    I mean, <b>yes!</b>
It depends what we mean I guess, isn’t Markdown supposed to allow [hx]ml tags anyway if user need them? Then it’s more about asking the LLM to generate Markdown with this in consideration, and privilege rendering the output of reports in the preferred browser after relevant rendering.
