Markdown generation broken

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Since recent update I haven’t been able to generate actual markdown docs in chat - it just goes straight to html and it’s burning through tokens like crazy for no reason. Please fix it

Steps to Reproduce

Ask in chat to generate something in markdown - 90% of the time it generates html version of it and nothing works to get it back to the way it used to be
