I just noticed that `node-red-node-markdown` isn't using the same version as the editor when generating html. I'm trying to generate checkboxes using:

> `- [x] Checked`  
> `- [] Unchecked`

...which in the editor yields:

- Checked
- Unchecked

Sounds off that the runtime should use a different engine than the editor so I'm starting to suspect I'm doing something wrong...?

How so?

The editor is part of the core, and Node Modules installed to extend its palette, have no relevance to what is being used by the core/runtime. Node modules can use any library they need, and does not need to be a library used by the core

FWIW:

The **core** / **runtime** / **editor** is using (I think).
