> This is a bug in markdown. Actually, not converting `<` and `>` in tags is a
> markdown feature -- markdown allows inserting arbirary html, even if it's
> made-up tags. And putting paragraph tags around your `` tag is
> understandable, since markdown can't know if `` is intended to
> be a block-level tag or not. The bug is that it puts the `` around the
> trailing `
` -- it does know what a div is, and it should know that's
> illegal and not do it. I've filed a [bug report](http://bugs.debian.org/459269) about that issue
> alone. If you feel the other things you brought up are bugs, please talk
> to the markdown maintainer. --[[Joey]]
