Emphasis extent wrong when more than one per line about markdown HOT 1 CLOSED

First of all, Markdown2 is a separate (unrelated) project from Python-Markdown. However, Python-Markdown is currently at version 2.0.3 with version 2.1.0 in alpha. I'm assuming that those two versions of Python-Markdown are what you are referring to rather than the Markdown2 project. Additionally, you appear to be using versions provided by your OS's linux package system. I'm a little concerned that they would provide an alpha package like that - which may be causing some of your confusion.

In any event, it should be noted that version 2.1.0 is the next release after 2.0.3 and so it contains numerous bug fixes. Diffing the two simply shows the bugs we already fixed. Therefore, there is nothing to report. Once 2.1.0-Final is released (soonish), that will be the official version.

I have two suggestions for you though. First, you may want to check out the smart_emphasis keyword (documented here) that we added in 2.1.0. For example:

>>> markdown.markdown("_end()_s")
u'<p>_end()_s</p>'

>>> markdown.markdown("_end()_s", smart_emphasis=False)
u'<p><em>end()</em>s</p>'

However, I prefer to put code in code spans. Using your example:

>>> markdown.markdown("Note that this method `end()`s the response, so you will want to use node's `res.write()` ...")
<p>Note that this method <code>end()</code>s the response, so you will want to use node's <code>res.write()</code> ...</p>"

I think that works nicely with no tricks needed and in older (bugger) versions of Python-Markdown.

I'm closing this as no bug was reported.
