Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] HTML Comments getting munged somehow

[Steven L S. <ssm...@zi...>]

Thanks for the answer, Waylan.

I guess I misunderstood the order of how things get processed.

I ended up replacing my syntax with ~naz:showhide and ~/naz:showhide, and moving the order of my extension like you suggested, and it worked.

That is the placeholder string for the raw html. It will be swapped
out for the raw html later. Make sure your extension runs before the
raw html preprocessor and you should be good (not sure why this would
have changed since 2.0.3 either). Although, If I am understanding what
your extension does, that means the markdown text will be wrapped in a
div and won't get processed (per expected markdown behavior). Perhaps
you should run a postprocessor after the "raw_html" postprocessor has
swapped the placeholders back out for the raw html.
