What Vorno can render
Most agent interfaces can only give you text. Vorno renders a handful of richer formats directly in the conversation, so results arrive as something you can sort, read, or export rather than as a wall of JSON.
You do not invoke these. The agent picks a format and emits it; this page is so you know what is available and can ask for something specific when the default is not what you wanted.
The pages below are the format specifications, written for the agent. Read one when you want to know exactly what a format supports.
Choosing a format
Section titled “Choosing a format”| You want to show… | Format | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Rows of data you might sort, filter, or export | Data table / spreadsheet | Data Tables |
| A relationship, flow, sequence, or trend | Mermaid diagram | Mermaid |
| Content that is already HTML — an email body, a styled report | HTML preview | HTML Preview |
| A markdown file, rendered rather than dumped | Markdown preview | Markdown Preview |
| A PDF, inline, with page navigation | PDF preview | PDF Preview |
| A screenshot or image file, inline | Image preview | Image Preview |
What is worth knowing
Section titled “What is worth knowing”Tables scale. Past roughly twenty rows the agent writes the data to a file
and points the table at it instead of inlining every row. The table looks the
same to you; it just costs far less to produce. Spreadsheets are the same
machinery with an export button — ask for one when you want the .xlsx.
Diagrams beat ASCII art. If you find yourself reading a hand-drawn box diagram in a code block, ask for a Mermaid diagram instead. Several smaller focused diagrams also read better than one large one, and the agent is told to split them for that reason.
Previews are for fidelity. HTML, PDF, markdown, and image previews all exist for the same reason: converting the content to plain text would lose something that matters — layout, styling, or the image itself. HTML renders in a sandbox, so scripts do not run and links are not clickable.
Previews can be tabbed. Any of the four preview types can show several items with a tab bar — useful for before/after comparisons, or a set of related documents side by side.
Asking for something different
Section titled “Asking for something different”Plain language works: “show that as a table,” “make it a diagram,” “give me that as a spreadsheet I can download,” “just show me the raw text.” The formats are suggestions the agent makes, not decisions it is locked into.
