Anthropic Lead: HTML Increasingly Better Than Markdown at Keeping Humans Engaged in Agentic Loops
Sure, sure - but do not render the complete HTML, that's expensive. Best is to make web components that accept just some attributes, making it possible for the LLM to render an advanced widget with a one-liner. Cheap and less error prone. Been there, done that 😎.

Wait... I need some context here. Surely this is not a comparison between things to make web components with? Because of course markdown will lose then.
Markdown is far better for readability though.
Yeah, and actually, you can actually just render markdown in a rich way. Nobody is stopping ya. Tables with nice sortable columns and stuff.
I did not provide a link because my phone generated a fucking Google wrapped URL. It does it these days. Even worse, I shared a YouTube link recently and YouTube showed my username 😡.
one of the problems of markdown is that it's not standardized. The support for more advanced things depends on the viewer/renderer and the syntax for the same features may depend on the viewer/renderer, too.
I only use markdown for basic markup (lul).
Advanced stuff like tables is a mine field and not well readable anyway.
Tables are not supported by all libraries, for sure. Also -
