HTML Reports vs Markdown Reports
Developers should use HTML Reports when they need to create shareable, platform-independent documentation of data analysis, test results, or system monitoring, such as in CI/CD pipelines for test coverage reports, data science projects for visualization, or operations for server health dashboards meets developers should use markdown reports when they need to produce consistent, version-controlled documentation that is easy to write and maintain, such as for generating api documentation, project updates, or data analysis summaries. Here's our take.
