[kramdown-users] block inline attribute list problem

[Matt Neuburg]

This works as I expect:

require 'kramdown'
s = <<END
{: #myid}
Testing
END
puts Kramdown::Document.new(s).to_html


<p id="myid">Testing</p>

This, however, does nothing:

require 'kramdown'
s = <<END
{: #myid}
<div>
Testing
</div>
END
puts Kramdown::Document.new(s).to_html


<div>
Testing
</div>

I expect the div to gain the id value "myid", but it doesn't. Okay, so
maybe the problem is that markdown is not turned on for this div. Let's
try it:


require 'kramdown'
s = <<END
{: #myid}
<div markdown="1">
Testing
</div>
END
puts Kramdown::Document.new(s).to_html


<div>
  <p id="myid">Testing</p>
</div>


Hmmm. We've skipped the div and attached the id to the internal p.

On the other hand, it all works perfectly if the ALD is *after* the
closing </div>, regardless of whether markdown="1" or not. So, there's a
good workaround, but there is some expectation here that it will work the
same whether the ALD is before or after its block, and it doesn't. m.
