Gary,

I agree with your first impulse. It would be very natural to use <div> tags to split a document up into chunks, but then to use markdown syntax within the individual chunks.

For a precedent at deviating from the original markdown syntax, you might look at: http://sophos.berkeley.edu/macfarlane/pandoc/README.html (see the section on "Embedded html").

Thanks for your attention to these issues.

Best, Hans

Hi Hans,

I have a fix for the errant paragraph tags but I'm not sure I like that Markdown doesn't apply markdown inside the blocks. I.e., I'd rather that

<div>

## Header

</div become

<div> <h2>Header</h2> </div>

What's your opinion? Is there a justification for one behavior over the other.

thanks,

cl-markdown does not yet treat <div> tags in the special way that perl-markdown treats them; instead cl-markdown wraps <div> tags in <p> tags. Here is an example input string:

input string (9 lines total):

<div class="header">

Header text

</div>

# Heading

Some text

Here are the respective output strings:

cl-markdown output:

<p><div class="header"> </p><p>Header text </p><p></div> </ p><h1>Heading </h1> <p>Some text </p>

perl-markdown output: =====================x

<div class="header">

Header text

</div>

<h1>Heading</h1>

<p>Some text</p>

See the description of how perl-markdown treats div tags: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#html
