Select whether an HTML tag is parsed as block or span level

[EtienneMiret]

According to the WHATWG, the img element is both flow content and phrasing content. I might be wrong on that one, but I understand “flow content” from the WHATWG spec as meaning “block level” while “phrasing content” would be “span level”.

In any case, there is no doubt img elements are allowed as direct children of the body element. Which seems currently impossible to achieve with kramdown.

So, could that feature be added? I’m thinking about something like:

<img alt="" src="foo" level="span"/>

<img alt="" src="foo" level="block"/>

that would translates to:

<p><img alt="" src="foo"></p>

<img alt="" src="foo">

Also, I took img as an example, but I expect that new level attribute to work on any tag.

You can already achieve this with kramdown:

{::nomarkdown}
<img alt="" src="foo" />
{:/}

will result in

<img alt="" src="foo" />

Oh, OK, cool! Not sure why I didn’t see that in the doc. Thank-you!
