Dropbox supports preview of Markdown, but not all tags. I have inferred that it supports most, perhaps all, of the Markdown-specific syntax, but not HTML tags. However, that level of "documentation" is rather shallow.

Is there any documentation available?

    In addition to your test document, inline code, code blocks, quoted blocks and nested lists are also supported. But, as you suggest, not HTML tags (tried del, s and sup as well - which are the ones I tend to use with md).

  • Thanks @w3dk, I added your HTML use cases to the test doc.

    Here’s a list of existing extensions (some conflicting), but it seems you’re not even testing all standard Markdown/Commonmark features yet. Pandoc has some demo files you could try, too, or use an existing cheatsheet.

  • Hi @Crissov, if there's interest, I can try to make the test more complete. Perhaps I can just use the cheatsheet you suggested – thanks for the tip!

The only official list of supported Markdown tags in Dropbox you can get (as help article mentions) by

  1. logging in Dropbox Paper
  2. hitting Ctrl+/ (⌘+/):

Markdown formatting options available in Dropbox Paper

Here's a link to the official documentation on formatting options available in Dropbox: Formatting a Dropbox Paper doc
It also contains the available markdown tags supported by Dropbox Paper doc.
