[Python-markdown-discuss] Preprocessor after Treeprocessor?

[Jake V. <ja...@gm...>]

Hello,
I'm trying to write an extension that will allow literal includes of files
in markdown, and do syntax highlighting if they contain code.

I managed to get a preprocessor working which takes a suitably-annotated
filename, and replaces it with markdown which should then be interpreted by
the codehilite extension. I was surprised, though, when I found that the
output of my preprocessor is never processed by codehilite.  It seems that
codehilite is modifying the text *before* my preprocessor modifies it: is
this the case?  Is there any way to make sure a new extension preprocesses
the document before sending the result to another extension?

Thanks for any help,
   Jake
