OwnShip-specific
Behaviors that go beyond standard GFM.
Link tab behavior
Links to pages on the same host open in the same tab. External http:// and https:// links open in a new tab automatically — no target="_blank" needed.
Bare URL autolinks
Raw URLs in prose are linked automatically:
Trailing punctuation is excluded from the link: https://ownship.cc.
Image paths are root-relative
Image paths in .md files resolve from the site root (where index.php lives), not from the current file's location. Use images/photo.png rather than ../images/photo.png.
.html files
.html files in your site render in a sandboxed <iframe> rather than inline.
.txt files
.txt files render as proportional text (not a <pre> block). A </> button appears in the header to toggle monospaced rendering. Name the file with a .pre.txt, .mono.txt, .fixed.txt, or .code.txt extension to default to monospaced.
