My marked function is not working properly.  
It renders the string without converting markdown to HTML.  
Please Help.

It’s working fine. In markup, you need a space between the hash and the word. The forum also renders markdown:

```auto
# Chirag

```

# Chirag

A small silly mistake and I wasted so much of my time.  
Thank you so much @PortableStick for your kind time and help.  
Have a good time ahead 😃
