Package: pandoc Version: 0.46+2 Severity: normal The reStructuredText specification allows for comment blocks of arbitrary indented text <URL:http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#comments>.
The following session shows that pandoc is incorrectly interpreting
these comment elements as some other kind of element.

$ infile=$(mktemp -t)
$ cat > $infile
Title of document
=================
First paragraph
..
Comment block, should not appear in output
as defined by reStructuredText
Another paragraph
..
Another comment block.
This one spans several
text elements.
It doesn't end until
indentation is restored to the
preceding level.
A third paragraph
$ pandoc --from rst --to markdown $infile
# Title of document

reStructuredText

=====
The above result is incorrect; instead the comment blocks in the input
should not be visible in the rendered form. For example, this would be
a correct rendering of the above example input:
=====
# Title of document
First paragraph
Another paragraph
A third paragraph
