Most Markdown libraries that support inline HTML (maybe even all of them) disallow Markdown syntax within HTML elements.
When converting a WP export with <figure> elements around images we ended up getting ![]() Markdown images nested within them, which doesn't work with the editors we tried (VSCode, Obsidian).
This particular situation was easy to recover from with a search-replace afterwards, but there may be more tricky scenarios, and some that can't really be resolved consistently.
