Skip to main content
The Markdown renderer is Colin’s default. It passes template output through unchanged, preserving all formatting, headers, and content structure.

​
Usage

Markdown is the default, so no configuration is needed: 
---
title: Weekly Report
---

# Summary

{{ ref('data').content | llm_extract('executive summary') }}

# Details

{{ ref('analysis').content }}
You can also specify it explicitly: 
---
colin:
  output:
    format: markdown
---

​
Output

The renderer preserves all content exactly as rendered. Jinja expressions are evaluated, but the resulting markdown is written as-is. Input template: 
## Status: {{ status }}

Tasks completed:
{% for task in tasks %}
- {{ task.name }}
{% endfor %}
Output (after Jinja rendering): 
## Status: Complete
