Something weird when "---" comes in.

[allenfantasy]

I got a really weird issue as following:

• I've created a file called index.md:

Testing
======

• Then I try to open this file. No respond from the server. No browser tab opened.
• Then I add --- at the 1st line of this fine, save and exit. When I reopen the file it's working very good.
• Then I try to delete this line in Vim, this preview is working well. But after I save and exit, the same problem occurs.

So the conclusion is: something wrong when open the markdown file. And this problem may be related to ---

I've check the needed gems / node:

• redcarpet (3.0.0)
• pygments.rb (0.5.4)
• nodejs: v0.10.24
• instant-markdown-d@0.0.8

Plus I've try instructions in #41 by adding set shell=bash\ -i in my .vimrc file, since I am using Mavericks.

Any help would be appreciated 😃

So, let me try to understand better. If you do echo '---' | instant-markdown-d, does it work? How about echo -e "---\nTitle\n===" | instant-markdown-d?

both work and open a new tab on the browser.

So, I've tried many variations of opening a file which already has --- at the top, removing that line, and adding it back, opening the file again - but the output is always correct. (just FYI, a --- with nothing directly able it is supposed to render as a squiggly line as seen at the top of the README here)

If you still can't get it working, try reinstalling instant-markdown-d, which I just fixed an issue with using the latest version of redcarpet.

First I've reinstalled instant-markdown-d. Then I try two types of markdown files

This one is not working:

### Title
---

while this one works:

---
# Title

Is there any ways I could do to debug this? I want to check where's going wrong but don't know how to start

[suan]

I've tested

### Title
---

and it works for me.

To debug, first find where your instant-markdown-d nom module is installed. Then, open <dir>/node_modules/docter/bin/github-flavored-markdown.rb. Within that Ruby file put file debug statements like File.open('/tmp/test.txt', 'a'){ |f| f.puts somevar.inspect }

Might also try upgrading redcarpet to the latest version...
