Inline HTML in markdown is not properly processed.

[eyeszack]

According to the markdown syntax description inline HTML is supported for those elements not represented in the syntax. When I include the following inline HTML it is not "passed" through to the output as HTML.

Inline HTML that I want written as is to output HTML:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.9.0/styles/github.min.css">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.9.0/highlight.min.js"></script>
<script>hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();</script>

Instead it's parsed and rendered as follows:

<p>&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.9.0/styles/github.min.css&quot;&gt;  </p>
<p>&lt;script src=&quot;https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.9.0/highlight.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br>&lt;script&gt;hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();&lt;/script&gt;  

</p>

This breaks the desired results when using the HTML file. Please refer to the inline section of the markdown syntax for more information.

Same issue here; this code is not properly handled:

## API
<dl>
<dt><em><b>Digraph.new() </b></em>
<dd>Initialize the Directed Graph
<hl>

Surrounding each html tag with spaces does not resolve this issue.

This is a fatal flaw which makes this unusable in the general case.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. My thought is to use sed to convert the escaped entities back to their original form.

Solved!

You can run the output through the recode utility. StackOverflow info.

Example:

markdown changes.md | recode html..ascii > changes.htm

There's a sanitize option that defaults to true and there currently is no way to set it to false. So, I need to add a way to set sanitize to false. I'm putting this on my TODO list.

Sanitize means to convert any inline html into a display representation of the HTML. Setting it to false could open an application using marked to hacking exploits in some cases, but not in the case of markdown-to-html, so it should be safe to implement.

@cwjohan I'm having the same issue with list items inside a table (<li>). Are you planning to fix this? I understand this thread is quite old, back to 2017.

Not planning to fix. No longer have a development environment. Many of the third party components are out of date. Needs an overhaul to update it to the latest software.
