HTML Limitations on API Uploads

So I’m using the Coda API (v1) Reference Documentation put command to upload documentation generated programmatically (in my case from sphinx). You can check it out here if desired. But I really have to massage the html before I get something useful. And after I’ve generated what is essentially a no frills html page and I upload I still have several formatting errors. For example,

  • Quotes with bulletpoints straight doesn’t work

images are a mess and there seems to be no method for uploading images.

Even though Coda has callouts, it doesn’t seem to interpret <aside> or any other tag as a callout item in html.

Tables just look bad, like really bad. It doesn’t respect for table headers either.

Is there any chance there might be a future, better parser? Really I’d just like to have github pages published to coda where it can be searched.
