Sherwood, great question and well laid out. If a good solution comes up I'll probably want it as well. My idea is to _post-process_ the HTML output to convert marked data into a picture element, rather than to construct a picture up front that can withstand parsing from Markdown into HTML. In

Jason, most people here ignore bowerbird. I use an email filter that marks the messages as read, colors them differently from the others, and files them with the others (in case they get referred to in any significant way later in a thread). - TH On Jul 6, 2013, at 6:17 AM, Jason Davies

Shorter version of my previous post: Gruber gives this example... 3. Bird 1. McHale 8. Parish ...and states that it will be numbered 1-2-3. Which is enough to make clear that in Markdown's design, the kind of goofy content in list- item markers that we're discussing is ignored. Simple.
