[Python-markdown-discuss] Codehilite extension bug

[Kjell M. F. <kj...@gm...>]

Dear Python-markdown developers,

I have taken a closer look at ticket #12 regarding the bug in
codehilite that inserts the formatted code at the start of the
document. The problem seems to be that the code is inserted in the
parent node's text attribute. According to the ElementTree
documentation [1] the text attribute is text *before* the first
subelement. That is why the code is inserted at the start of the
document.

I have posted a partial solution to the problem as a comment to the ticket:

( Why can't I find this information in Python's documentation of ElementTree? )
