```Known Limitations of Markdown to Discord
What this converter does not do (yet), and what to do instead.
- Discord does not render tables, so Markdown tables are left as text; wrap them in a code block to keep the columns aligned.
- Discord only supports # to ### headings; #### and smaller are not styled.
- Messages over 2,000 characters (4,000 with Nitro) are rejected by Discord, so split long documents.
- Images become links; Discord shows a preview only for publicly reachable image URLs.
