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.

I've seen arguments about this, but they tend to go on forever and so I tend to tune out.

You might consider what happens if you do:

<p> ## Header </p>

For an alternative approach, you can look at maruku <http:// rubyforge.org/projects/maruku/> which is another Ruby implementation of markdown. Maruku adds an attribute it recognises to the html, so...

<div markdown="1"> ## Header </div>

will do as you want. Maruku will attempt to avoid doing something obviously wrong, e.g. it will not convert the heading inside a paragraph example from above since a heading is not allowed in a paragraph. Maruku will also strip the markdown attribute from the output. Unfortunately, using this input with the real markdown processor will not strip the attribute.

Textile will process the content inside html tags, and it will put headers inside paragraphs. That isn't so good.

You might want to worry about this when you have lots of time, it sounds like a bit of a can of worms to me.

Cheers, Bob

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
