Please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that markdown is not being interpreted when topics are generated via the embedded discussions feature.
This is a generated topic from the following page: [https://kagerochart.com/hero/tobin-the-clueless-one](https://kagerochart.com/hero/tobin-the-clueless-one)
I have configured Discourse to pull the contents of #copyme, which it does. However, the copied text is displaying _literally_.
As you can see in the screenshot, when I click the edit button, the preview is correct. If I make an update to the post, the markdown is interpreted.
Thanks

This is not a bug but a feature request.
Currently we are assuming that the embedded content will be HTML, so the `cook_method` is set to `raw_html` as per [this code](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/367fb1c524cff06a33c7a4144cd13a270a9f3489/app/models/topic_embed.rb#L64).
The better solution here is to add a new site setting to control `cook_method` for embedded topics.

This was because when editing a post we were ignoring `cook_method `, @gerhard recently _fixed_ this via:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/4205c1ad2bcbd2572fb4b7eb37c641a4c4db5cec](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/4205c1ad2bcbd2572fb4b7eb37c641a4c4db5cec)
So now when editing the embedded topic the markdown will not work, which seems like a bug to me.

I have added this to my priority list since there is no workaround now except to edit a post in HTML format, which is not convenient.

Done via:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/12706c4b295d260bbf34f5a8afc7e31971b3ea45](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/12706c4b295d260bbf34f5a8afc7e31971b3ea45)
There is a new site setting `embed support markdown` (default off), if enabled the rendering will be same as what we have for topics created on Discourse composer.
