# Markdown Upgrade

On August 10th, at 04:32 UTC, Holistics has upgraded the Markdown engine of **Text Widgets** to an up-to-date version.

In the process, we overlooked the fact that there are breaking changes to the behavior of HTML blocks, mostly due to [this change in the CommonMark spec](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/changes.html#part-6).

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

This post will try to list out some common issues and how to handle them.  
Please let us know in case you need any further assistance.

## Common Issues

### 1. The Markdown block is not rendered properly when it is preceded by an HTML block.

**Fix** : Always end your HTML block with a blank line
