Add Markdown Inside HTML Blocks like Markdown Extra

[bzerangue]

Would be really helpful for Parsedown Extra to add Markdown Inside HTML Blocks

Previously in Markdown, you couldn’t wrap Markdown-formatted content inside a <div> element. This is because <div> is a block element and plain Markdown does not format the content of such.

Markdown Extra gives you a way to put Markdown-formatted text inside any block-level tag. You do this by adding a markdown attribute to the tag with the value 1 — which gives markdown="1" — like this:

<div markdown="1">
This is *true* markdown text.
</div>

The markdown="1" attribute will be stripped and <div>’s content will be converted from Markdown to HTML. The end result will look like this:

<div>
<p>This is <em>true</em> markdown text.</p>
</div>

Sorry. This is already requested here...

<div markdown="1">
This is *true* markdown text.
</div>

Doesn't this work as expected in the latest version of ParsedownExtra?

This does seem to be working! Thank you @erusev!

@bzerangue I'm glad to hear that.

I think this needs to have a note on it that the markdown tag needs to be on every tag that is a direct parent of the element - so

<div markdown="1">
    <blockquote>
        this is *true* markdown
   </blockquote>
</div>

doesn't work but

<div>
    <blockquote markdown="1">
        this is *true* markdown
   </blockquote>
</div>

does
