[Python-modules-team] Bug#646552: python-markdown: do not properly handle inline html

[Anaël Verrier]

Package: python-markdown
Version: 2.0.3-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Please have a look to this strange behavior:

--------8<--------
>>> import markdown
>>> markdown.markdown('<p>.\n\n...\n\n.</p>')
u'<p>.\n\n...\n\n.</p>'
>>> markdown.markdown('<p>.\n\n.a.\n\n.</p>')
u'<p>.\n\n.a.\n\n.</p>'
>>> markdown.markdown('<p>.\n\n.p.\n\n.</p>')
u'<p>.\n\n.p.\n\n<p>.</p></p>'
-------->8--------

After a little investigation it seems that the problem comes from
markdown.preprocessors.HtmlBlockPreprocessor. I don't know why but it seems it
considers the 'p' as a tag (which it obviously is not).

Cheers,
