Markdown is not working properly

JavaScript

Here is the markdown-previewer link I have developed so far:

https://aonik89.github.io/markdown-previewer/

The problem is, it is supposed to convert the following

1. And there are numbererd lists too.
1. Use just 1s if you want! 
1. But the list goes on...
- Even if you use dashes or asterisks.
* And last but not least, let's not forget embedded images:

into this:

2. Use just 1s if you want!

4. Even if you use dashes or asterisks.
5. And last but not least, let's not forget embedded images:

But this is not working clearly.

I have used Marked.js.

I am not understanding the documentation properly about how to add target="_blank" in the links.

Any help would be great.

It is working as intended. - and * translates into unordered list in markdown.

You can also try that snippet by pasting it into GitHub’s README file or here at Marked.js demo page:
https://marked.js.org/demo

And as for the target="_blank", it depends upon the markdown engine and if it supports this feature.
See this question for a generic answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4425198/can-i-create-links-with-target-blank-in-markdown/

And see this issue specifically for Marked.js

The ordered list functionality @aoni_k mentioned is taken directly from the project example for the certification. That is called lazy list numbering. Lazy list numbering is mentioned about 3 examples down in the list section in this reference: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list

This seems to conflict with the GFM example 281 and 282 in this reference here: https://github.github.com/gfm/#lists
According to GFM syntax, there should be an ordered list and 2 unordered lists, since the list switches list markers which should create a new list each time. Also, instead of a . period you can use ) right parenthesis for ordered list which does not work in the FCC demo. Not sure what to go by or if it even matters since my project already passed 8/8 tests even tho I’m not finished with the project.

The bonus requirement mentioned as the second part of the question has apparently been removed from the project.

Here is a link to the FCC demo: https://codepen.io/freeCodeCamp/full/GrZVVO

And here is a link to my repo to compare the output: https://github.com/jywillia/react-markdown-previewer
Keep in mind it’s a work in progress, just hashing out the functionality before I organize it and clean up the styling. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
