Non-standard HTML tags on input get encoded to HTML Entities about markdown-it HOT 7 CLOSED

That's a CommonMark specification problem. It was already reported, and now in process of discussion:

http://talk.commonmark.org/t/raw-html-blocks-proposals-comments-wanted/983

I think, spec will resolve it in < 1 months, and i update parser immediately then. Is it ok?

from markdown-it.

I tried to read that but it got pretty technical, so I'm not quite understanding the proposal. It does explain why I'd seen a difference between a tag at the beginning of the line, and tags in the middle of some text.

For my purpose it's not useful to only support non-standard tags at the beginning of a line. They need to be supported anywhere (for my purpose).

At the moment I'm trying a workaround to use earlier versions of markdown-it or might have to switch back to Remarkable ...

Hm... they have the same codebase, and i don't remember that changed html tags logic. Are you sure it worked better before?

Version from master should eat dash in tag names now. But it you need those tags to be block-like (not wrapped with paragraphs), you have to extend this list https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/lib/common/html_blocks.js

var blockTags = require('markdown-it/lib/common/html_blocks');

blockTags.push('my-block-tag');

Also i recommend to read upcoming spec changes and write there your suggestions, if you see any problems. This parser strictly follow CommonMark spec.

In worst case, you can rewrite approproate parcer rules with your own.

Your tag could work if it was the part of html block. For example:

<!-- -->
<hello-world></hello-world>

When parser find start of html block (<!--) in this case, it takes as html everything until next empty line.

Released 3.0.2 with allowed dashes in tag names.

Closing?

Yes it looks good. Thank you.
