Good call, thank you; having concluded long ago that blank-line separation for block elements is it a good idea, I had forgotten that most implementations* were so lax about it. In any case, (b) still seems the most useful behaviour to me. * It seems ironic to follow the details of an informal and neglected implementation (i.e., Markdown.pl), rather than the spirit of the documentation. If you all want a formal (i.e., consistent) standard then you should define it yourselves because John Gruber is clearly not interested, and poring over the details of his implementation/documentation is not likely to yield one. _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list Markdown-Discuss@six.pairlist.net http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
