trying to apply Markdown changes is really hard since the markdown actually renders in the chat window, and is split up by code snippets / markdown code. Please fix this

We are aware of this. It’s a bit of an issue because the AI already outputs in Markdown format into the chat. So trying to output Markdown code within Markdown itself gets difficult to parse correctly.

We are aware of this, and will hopefully will have improvements on this available soon!
