Article summaries and blog.summary.separator producing malformed mark-up

[FearGoidte]

I am having trouble generating article summaries using the blog.summary.separator. This is my first attempt with Middleman-blog so no doubt it is a simple error on my part. No amount of DuckDuckGoing has helped me.

Setup

The blog.summary.separator is set in config.rb as:

blog.summary_separator = /(READMORE)/

The article markdown source file text is as follows:

Blog summary

READMORE

First paragraph.

Result

When I use article.body this source text generates:

<p>Blog summary.</p>

<p></p>

<p>First paragraph.</p>

When I use article.summary it generates:

<p>Blog summary.</p>

<p>

If I change the article markdown source file to:

Blog summary
READMORE
First paragraph.

Article body:

<p>Blog summary. First paragraph.</p>

When I use article.summary it generates:

<p>Blog summary.

Why is it a problem?

I do not want the empty paragraph tag in the article body and as I am serving the built files using the application/xhtml+xml media type, I definitely do not want the un-closed paragraph in the article summary.
