Deepseek R1 (0528) Formatting Weirdness

I’m not sure how much of this is T3 Chat and the system prompt versus Deepseek R1 and it’s tendency to do crazy formatting all over the place. I'm not exactly asking for things to get fixed, but this was one of the weirdness formatting results that I’ve had so far so wanted to share in case there’s some areas to improve upon.

Here’s one example.

I found this thread about similar issues with Grok.

Not parsing HTML makes perfect sense, but I wonder if you could replace the <br> tag with standard new line characters somehow.

also, is there any way to render the code blocks better in tables? Doubtful, but you never know.

Then it tries to do a mermaid chart later down the line. Not sure if it’s planned to render these eventually, but I would rather not get the mermaid chart as code in this way. It just isn’t useful to me.

Lastly, I have no idea what that last paragraph is trying to format as with the quote characters, but I will say I kinda like the blockquote.
