When I convert an MD file to a formatted note in DTTG, this line is added to the HTML:
``
That is an incorrect character set declaration, the line should read
``
Also, the HTML is missing a document type, it should start with
``
to indicate that it’s an HTML5 document.
And perhaps setting the `title` to the _name_ of the MD file (instead of “Text/Markdown preview”) might be appreciated.
There’s, BTW, no need to terminate HTML elements without closing tags (like `meta`, `img`, `hr`, `br`) with a `/` since HTML 5. The W3C HTML validator frowns upon those closing slashes.

There is an existing GitHub issue on document conversions.
