<mark> treated as block tag

[ndarville]

Using Seems to have the result of removing <p> tags when writing in Jekyll.

Markdown input:

Lorem ipsum.

<mark>Test</mark>

<mark>Foobar</mark>

HTML output:

<p>Lorem ipsum.</p>

<mark>Test</mark>

<mark>Foobar</mark>

$ bundle exec kramdown -v
1.9.0

I thought it might have to do with the tag being treated as an unknown tag or a block tag given the behaviour, but the main problem is that using markdown=“1" and markdown="span" doesn’t fix it either.

I take it this can’t be expected behaviour, at least if you can’t mitigate it with the markdown attribute. Or does is it “not working, as expected”, if you will? :)

I’ll be using <span class="highlight"> for now, but that’s obviously not ideal for a number of reasons.

Sorry, I don't fully understand the problem. The <mark> tag is not a valid HTML tag. Can you provide input, current output and expected output?

[ndarville]

Has it been deprecated?

[gettalong]

Ah, okay, didn't know that it was a HTML5 tag. Okay, so this is a span-level tag like <b>. And what is the exact problem?

[ndarville]

The rendered HTML is

<p>Lorem ipsum.</p>

<mark>Test</mark>

<mark>Foobar</mark>

when it should be

<p>Lorem ipsum.</p>

<p><mark>Test</mark></p>

<p><mark>Foobar</mark></p>

- <mark>Test</mark>
+ <p><mark>Test</mark></p>

- <mark>Foobar</mark>
+ <p><mark>Foobar</mark></p>

Okay, that should be easy to fix - thanks for the bug report!

No problem, appreciate the fast reply!
