colon escape at front of line

: *** this should be escaped into code ... but presently just disappears!

Interesting... so I didn't know about this syntax. Found it on the org site:

Fixed Width Areas A “fixed-width line” start with a colon character and a whitespace or an end of line. Fixed width areas can contain any number of consecutive fixed-width lines.

Anyway, the parser emits this node:

        {
          "type": "fixed-width",
          "value": ": *** this should be escaped into code\r\n"
        }

So, this should be no problem to add this in to-html in markup.clj. However, what would your expected output be for this feature? I have never used this syntax before and I still don't quite know what it's for or how it would map to html yet.

@teesloane — the output would be something like this:

<pre>
*** this should be escaped into code
</pre>

So (sorry this is out of context) the formatter should do something like:

(when (and (= (:type map) "fixed-width")
           (= (subs (:value map) 0 1)))
  [:pre (subs (:value map) 1)])
