Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] htmlStash use

[Waylan L. <way...@ic...>]

Andrew,

Sorry for the delayed response. I just found your email in a backlog of 
messages in my inbox.

When you stash something, a placeholder gets inserted into the document. 
That placeholder will then get wrapped in `<p>` tags by the Markdown 
parser, which results in the behavior you have encountered. To 
compensate for this, when swapping out the placeholder for the stash in 
a postprocessor, we check if the placeholder is in a paragraph all by 
itself, and if the stash starts with a block level HTML element, we 
replace the placeholder and the wrapping `p` tag. However, if the `p` 
tag contains more that only a placeholder, or the stashed item does not 
start with a block level HTML tag, we simple replace the placeholder 
inside the paragraph, leaving the `p` tags in place (which is how inline 
raw HTML is handled). You can see the code at 
https://github.com/waylan/Python-Markdown/blob/master/markdown/postprocessors.py#L64.

`section` tags are considered block level, so if you are not seeing that 
behavior, then make sure that there is no whitespace surrounding your 
tags (in the stash) and that no whitespace or anything else is included 
with your placeholder on a line by itself. Your placeholder should have 
a blank line both before and after.
