Markdown rendering bug

[MichielDeMey]

Hey guys, I'd like to report a strange issue with markdown rendering.
This is most likely a bug in the markdown renderer that you use, however I could not find which one.

The following bug is observed:

---
title: Foo

---

# This is rendered as a header

<section>

  # This is not rendered as a header

</section>

output:

<h1>This is rendered as a header</h1>

<section>

  # This is not rendered as a header

</section>

The first header is rendered in html as an h1, however the second header inside the section tags is ignored and outputted literally.

I'm including the content as suggested in the documentation:

{{#markdown }}
  {{> body  }}
{{/markdown }}

Using grunt-assemble 0.4.0

Technically, this should work, right? Any ideas?

Apparently it's a known issue with Marked.
markedjs/marked#488

that's an issue with markdown itself. you can't put html inside markdown inside html, it won't render.

see daringfireball.net reason's why

you can't put html inside markdown inside html, it won't render.

yeah that's correct. Also, I think the markdown helpers in grunt-assemble use marked (from the handlebars-helpers lib), which does not follow commonmark spec.

Also fwiw in the 0.6. branch of handlebars-helpers, the markdown helpers were updated to use remarkable, a much better markdown parser that follows commonmark.

closing since this isn't really an issue, but feel free to continue the conversation
