10 Common GitHub Markdown Rendering Bugs & How to Fix Them

Why is your stats card showing a broken image icon? Why are HTML tags displaying as raw code? Discover the 10 most common Markdown bugs in GitHub profiles and how to fix them.

Top 3 Rendering Bugs

  1. Raw HTML Tags Displaying as Plain Text: Missing blank lines before or after HTML blocks (like <p> or <table>) causes GitHub Markdown to treat HTML as literal text.
  2. GitHub Camo Proxy Image Caching: GitHub caches images on its Camo proxy server. Add ?cache_seconds=86400 or append a cache buster query parameter to force refresh.
  3. Unclosed `<td>` or `<tr>` Tags: Missing closing table tags break the entire profile layout below the table.
