Markdown not being rendered within HTML block

support
6

Sorry to bump this thread out of the ground.

To have markdown rendered within HTML blocks, what is usually done in other Markdown dialects is to add a markdown=1 option in the html outer tag. An other solution retained in Github Flavoured Markdown is to add blank lines this way:

<div>

*Emphasized* text.

</div>

This kind of behaviour is currently what I need to render a gallery. I am doing it this way:

<div class="gallery" markdown=1>
![Image 1](image_link "image caption")
![Image 2](image_link "image caption")
![Image 3](image_link "image caption")
</div>

Then trigger it with CSS.

But note that blackfriday has not implemented it for now.

My 2 cents.

EDIT: Here is a script to render a Markdown draft into HTML with pandoc. It accepts Markdown within a HTML block.
