Bug#810981: pandoc: Incorrect bug in Textile to Markdown conversion

[Paul Menzel]

Package: pandoc
Version: 1.12.4.2~dfsg-1+b13
Severity: normal
Tags: fixed-upstream

Dear Debian folks,


using Pandoc 1.12.4.2~dfsg-1+b13, I noticed that the following text
marked up with Textile is not converted to Markdown (any flavor)
correctly.


```
$ more textile.txt 
*„test“*

“test”
$ pandoc -o markdown_strict.txt --from textile --to markdown_strict textile.txt
$ more markdown_strict.txt 
\*„test“\*
  
“test”

```

The first line is incorrect and it should be as below instead.

```
**„test“**

“test”
```

Using Pandoc’s online demo [1], it seems to be fixed in Pandoc 1.16.0.2.


Thanks,

Paul
