Why this is safe

HTML is parsed into an inert document. Script, style, iframe and event-handler code is never executed. Markdown preview runs in a sandboxed frame.

Complex tables with row/column spans are detected. GFM cannot represent every merged-cell layout, so the tool warns and either flattens them or preserves safe HTML when you choose that option.
