Ability to use Markdown inside of HTML tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to see the ability to have Markdown inside of HTML tags. On some 
of my websites, I 
wrap Markdown text in a <div> tag, like this:

<div>

# markdown goes here

</div>

This allows me to apply specific CSS styles to the text.

This worked using the original Markdown implementation:
>>> markdown.markdown('<div>\n\n# test\ntest\n\n</div>')
'\n<div>\n\n\n<h1>test</h1>\n<p>test\n</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n'

However, using your implementation gives the following output:
>>> markdown2.markdown('<div>\n\n# test\ntest\n\n</div>')
u'<div>\n\n# test\ntest\n\n</div>\n'

I am not sure if this behaviour is intended, but it stops me from using 
Markdown2, so I would 
like to see this working.

Yes, I'd like to ditto this comment, having just come across the problem.

Are there any plans to deal with this issue?

Markdown Extra solves this problem using a markdown="1" attribute:

<div markdown="1">
This is *true* markdown text.
</div>

Cheers. As you found, the "markdown-in-html" extra provides this.
