I created an article (from Markdown) that includes <video> elements. The video files are hosted on my own website.
When I save the post, the <video> elements lose their attributes (controls and playsinline) and the videos appear too large (there is no max-width: 100% style).
Does this mean that Dev.to does not support the <video> element?
