   I'd guess "design" -- &T; isn't a very good html entity, but
   it matches &[a-zA-Z0-9]+;

Regrettably, there still isn’t one registered for Markdown. If my
reading of [RFC 4288] is correct, John shouldn’t have any trouble
registering eg. `text/vnd.daringfireball.markdown` using the
application form at .
(Most of the “mandatory” fields in that form apply only to MIME
types registered in the standards tree, not the vendor tree.)

Hint hint, nudge nudge.

I end up using `text/plain` most of the time because browsers
throw up a download box whenever they encounter an unknown MIME
type, even though [RFC 2046] explicitly says they should treat
any unknown `text/*` MIME type as `text/plain`.

Re: Entity conversion glitch?

I would say this is a minor bug, and an interesting edge case as well.
The cause is the semi-colon following the `T`. `&T;` looks like an
html entity. If you remove the semicolon, the `&` is properly
converted to `&`.

In python-markdown, you can escape the `&` and you will get the expected output:

under a license from AT\&T; however, others were based on BSD instead.

becomes:

under a license from AT&T; however, others were based on BSD instead.


Unfortunately, this does not seem to work in the other implementations.

Entity conversion glitch?

[Petite Abeille]

Hello,

Given the following text:

under a license from AT&T; however, others were based on BSD instead.

Daring Fireball's Markdown Dingus produces:

under a license from AT&T; however, others were based on BSD  
instead.


Note how the '&' is not escaped to '&'.

Bug? Feature?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

PA.

[Petite Abeille]

Hello,

What MIME type do people use for Markdown?

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
