To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:42:12 -0800 Package: markdown Version: 1.0.1-7 Severity: normal This example of quoted text inside a list works perfectly, as the Markdown syntax documentation says it should: -- snip here -- * Foo. * Bar: > Some quoted text inside Bar. More of Bar. * Baz. -- snip here -- Running markdown over this produces the expected HTML: -- snip here -- <ul> <li><p>Foo.</p></li> <li><p>Bar:</p> <blockquote> <p>Some quoted text inside Bar.</p> </blockquote> <p>More of Bar.</p></li> <li><p>Baz.</p></li> </ul> -- snip here -- However, if the <ul> is inside another <ul>, Markdown gets horribly confused: -- snip here -- + Item 1. + Item 2: * Foo. * Bar: > Some quoted text inside Bar. More of Bar. * Baz. -- snip here -- Markdown turns this into: -- snip here -- <ul> <li><p>Item 1.</p></li> <li><p>Item 2:</p> <ul> <li><p>Foo.</p></li> <li><p>Bar:</p></li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>Some quoted text inside Bar.</p> </blockquote> <p>More of Bar.</p> <ul> <li>Baz.</li> </ul></li> </ul> -- snip here -- Note that the inner <ul> is closed before the blockquote and re-opened at the next <li>. I think this behavior is surprising; I would have expected the blockquote and following text to be part of the <ul>. It appears that there's a workaround: adding extra indents to the list item in question and the blockquote gives me what I would expect on output: -- snip here -- + Item 1. + Item 2: * Foo. * Bar: > Some quoted text inside Bar. More of Bar. * Baz. -- snip here -- compiles to: -- snip here -- <ul> <li><p>Item 1.</p></li> <li><p>Item 2:</p> <ul> <li><p>Foo.</p></li> <li><p>Bar:</p> <blockquote> <p>Some quoted text inside Bar.</p> </blockquote> <p>More of Bar.</p></li> <li><p>Baz.</p></li> </ul></li> </ul> -- snip here -- Daniel -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages markdown depends on: ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction markdown recommends no packages. -- no debconf information ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Matt
