Yeah, I noticed your more recent changes. Things are much better now.
Nicely done.

I had noticed that at some point (maybe from your commit log) and am
aware of the project.

Anyway, you are not gong to like this but I found a really obscure
bug. I have tested it on Discount directly and can't reproduce it
their, so either its a bug with RDiscount or your code. I had a
strange problem with one of my documents where a chunk of text was
simply missing from the middle when rendered.

It appears the problem is related to < and > signs in code blocks.
Perhaps they are being misinterpreted as html by the parser or
something. I have provided the most basic example of the problem I
could find here:

http://gitorious.org/projects/python-markdown/pages/Sandbox

If you look at the markdown source, that's obviously not correct. I
tried other variations as can be seen in the page history, but this is
the only one that fails.

Unfortunately, RDiscount is not available on Babelmark [1] for testing
like Discount is. So I'm not sure where the bug originates from.
