Why escaping HTML? #219

Closed tallesl closed 9 years ago

Why?

Shouldn't markdown leave those alone?

Both Gruber's and Common Mark implementations seems to leave it alone.

I'm using some HTML content in my markdown files, this behavior is preventing me to use this module.

Agree, +1. As I understand it, markdown should ignore everything within tags. I implemented this by rendering out the raw code and swapping out HTML elements ahead of markdown's toHTML call.

it seems to me that html in markdown should not be escaped.

danfinlay commented 9 years ago

:+1: This surprised me, and contradicted the behavior of other very compliant markdown parsers.

bromagosa commented 9 years ago

+1, this is not standard in any Markdown implementation I know of...

At the very least, it'd be enough to allow for inline HTML by explicitly disabling escaping at will.

I'll be unsubscribing from this now, because I found the module marked to meet this requirement for me.

For me too the escaping of HTML is a bummer, but this is a duplicate of the open https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js/issues/16 and can thus be closed.

shellscape commented 9 years ago

also using marked now.

dongli commented 8 years ago

I am also using marked now, since it automatically escapes HTML inside Markdown.
