Html tags get escaped without newlines

[optikfluffel]

# without newlines
iex(1)> Earmark.as_html! "<mark>Earmark is awesome!</mark>"
"<p>\n  &lt;mark&gt;Earmark is awesome!&lt;/mark&gt;\n</p>\n"

# with newlines
iex(2)> Earmark.as_html! "<mark>\nEarmark is awesome!\n</mark>"
"<mark>\n  Earmark is awesome!</mark>\n"

Is this intended behaviour?

[RobertDober]

yes and documented I believe ;) unless I removed it, which I did

I will add this again to the docs, sorry

[optikfluffel]

So there's also no option to enable something like this? Because I think it worked fine in earlier versions of Earmark and also works in almost any markdown tool or library I've seen so far. Github does too. (👈 <strong>)

This was a deliberate design decision taken by @pragdave, I am not sure this is on my radar now, given the open issues.

Given GFM I am striving to better supporting pure autolinks and lists (which are still a pain) but I fail to see the value of this particular feature.

Now there are lots and lots of things I do not see 😉 and if you can make a case for this feature I might put it on my backlog, but right now I am not in favor at all.

[RobertDober]

Oh and I forgot to explain, yes the parser was less strict on this in recent versions but that was more by accident.

[optikfluffel]

Ok then, sorry to bother you.

[RobertDober]

You did not bother me and I appologize if I gave you that impression, just being honest concerning my priorities.

I reopen this because it shall be documented so your ticket certainly has value.

Again sorry if I did not communicate well on this one.
