Image in heading worked yesterday; doesn't work today

[belltown]

Up until this morning, my README.md file displayed an image inside an h1 tag.

It used to look something like this:

VioletBug — Roku Debugger Graphical Interface

Now, it looks like this:

Here's the start of my README.md file:

 <h1 style="color: white; background-color: #af9cd9; padding: 2em 0; text-align: center">![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/belltown/violetbug/master/doc/icon.png) VioletBug — Roku Debugger Graphical Interface</h1>

Has something changed in how GitHib parses markdown files?

Somethings seems to have changed regarding the parsing of markdown mixed with html.
This code used to render fine:

<p></p>
[Link1](github.com)  
[Link2](github.com)  

but now it renders as:

[Link1](github.com) [Link2](github.com)

Not the same issue specifically, but I also noticed some changes.

-- no longer renders as a thin line, and backtick formatted links are broken in tables as seen here: https://github.com/raine/ramda-cli#functions

Hi all! We updated our markdown renderer for blobs to CommonMark yesterday:

https://github.com/blog/2333-a-formal-spec-for-github-flavored-markdown

CommonMark requires that there be a new line between HTML and markdown syntax, so that's the reason for this change.

We do not consider this a bug, so I'm going to close this out. If you have other questions about this transition or other markdown formatting issues, please reach out to our support team.

The change broke my tables as well. I had tables with empty headings which used to render as tables on all Markdown parsers, including GitHub's. Now I have to put something in the table headers (a single space character works).
