This is how I'm leaning. Because Markdown won't fix other invalid XML constructs, either -- i.e. invalid XML constructs *outside* comments. So, anyone who wants to pass untrusted Markdown-generated XHTML through a validating XML parser is going to have to do their own sanity checking/cleanup pass anyway, and fixing "__" strings in comments will be the least of their potential problems. -J.G. _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss@six.pairlist.net http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
