I could not reproduce on the showdown js demo site. What version of ShowdownJs are you using?
I am using 1.9.1.
The output that I have shown is from the Chrome console. After rendering, the string <pre><code><strong>x = 0</strong></code></pre>
will be shown as <pre><code><strong>x = 0</strong></code></pre>
as can be seen in the live editor, but the behavior of showdown is still strange. Why is the output if this specific b string different from the output of the a string when a paragraph is prefixed?
The conversion of <
into <
and >
into >
was causing me a problem with prism, and this is the smallest example I could find to reproduce my problem.
I think that's normal. What's inside a code
tag is supposed to be shown as is in the browser. That's why <
and >
are replaced by their entity counterparts. Because otherwise, the browser will interpret process them as tags.
HTML Entities
Some characters are reserved in HTML.
If you use the less than (<) or greater than (>) signs in your text, the browser might mix them with tags.
Character entities are used to display reserved characters in HTML.
Cf. w3schools.com
Can anyone explain the following unexpected behavior using a default converter:
The first output is fine:
While the second is unexpected:
Why is showndown messing with the inside of my
<pre><code>
in the second case, but not in the first???And why is it messing with the inside of any tag in the first place?
