The above link crashes Marked but not other Markdown processors. It's not exotic but it is, I suppose, quite long.

Thanks, Martin Packer

   Does it also crash if you use the Discount (GFM) processor?

   I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it (because it actually
   loaded fine for me using the MMD processor), but there's a line in your
   TOC that references the HTML code tag, but uses angle brackets in the
   name:

   * [Code Slides](#code-slides)
   * [`<code>`](#<code>)

   That #<code> is read as an actual code tag and the rest of the document
   is rendered as a code block, which can't be good for Marked's parser.
   The solution would be to rename that as `#codetag` and update the header
   to match.

   Still curious if Marked crashes if you set it to Discount (GFM) before
   attempting to open this file.

   The angle brackets don't seem to cause the issue when using the Discount parser, which explains why you're not seeing it when it's rendered on GitHub. Discount must to a better job of encoding those entities.

   Thanks Brett. I'll see if I can avoid those angle brackets - perhaps by using entity references.
