# MD033 - No Inline HTML
## Description
This rule disallows the use of inline HTML in Markdown documents. Using inline HTML can reduce the
portability and compatibility of Markdown content, as some platforms may restrict or sanitize HTML.
Pure Markdown is more portable and can be safely rendered in a variety of environments.
## Examples
### Valid
```markdown
# Heading
This is a paragraph with **bold** and *italic* text.
> This is a blockquote
- List item 1
- List item 2
[Link text](https://example.com)

```
### Invalid
```markdown
# Heading
This is a paragraph with <strong>bold</strong> and <em>italic</em> text.
<blockquote>This is a blockquote</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>List item 1</li>
<li>List item 2</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://example.com">Link text</a>
<img src="image.png" alt="Image alt text">
```
### Fixed
```markdown
# Heading
This is a paragraph with **bold** and *italic* text.
> This is a blockquote
- List item 1
- List item 2
[Link text](https://example.com)

```
## Configuration
This rule has the following configuration options:
- `allowed_elements`: An array of HTML tag names that are allowed. Default is an empty array.
Example configuration:
```json
{
"MD033": {
"allowed_elements": ["img", "br", "div"]
}
}
```
## Special Cases
- This rule checks for any HTML tags in the Markdown content
- It does not apply to code blocks or HTML comments
- The rule can be configured to allow specific HTML tags when necessary
- Some platforms may still sanitize allowed HTML tags
