Markdown rendering differences

Body

My README doesn't render the same way when viewed in Packages as it does in its Repository.

It doesn't handle footnotes at all, and relative links don't seem to work. (Or at least it didn't resolve to that document's location in the Repository view. That document was not included in the package.json files so maybe that's why it doesn't link… but given I can't navigate to another file that is packaged, like LICENSE, I doubt it.)

I've just confirmed that the main npmjs.com registry handles both footnotes and relative links as expected.

It does seem odd that README rendering changes between the repo view and Packages.

If footnotes and relative links work in the repository, but not in Packages, that feels more like an inconsistency than expected behavior. Especially since npmjs appears to handle both.

Could just be a limitation in the Packages renderer right now, but either way it’d be nice if the behavior matched the repo view more closely.

I also experience problem with README rendering differently on github, vscode and zed. I think it's up to the implementation of the markdown renderer.
