[Kramdown-users] Markdown processing within HTML

[Eric Sunshine]

Further observations on this thread (see quoted message below for 
original problem description): Apparently, Markdown processing is in 
fact active to some extent in the <dd>..</dd> element. Given the input:

   <dl markdown="1">
   <dt>Foo</dt>
   <dd markdown="1">
   Paragraph *1*

   Paragraph **2**

   Paragraph 3 [link](http://example.com/)
   </dd>
   </dl>

kramdown emits:

   <dl>
   <dt>Foo</dt>
   <dd>
   Paragraph <em>1</em>

   Paragraph <strong>2</strong>

   Paragraph 3 <a href="http://example.com/">link</a>
   </dd>
   </dl>

So, it did correctly recognize and emit some directives (<em>, <strong>, 
<a>), but did not recognize multiple paragraphs.
