   Hi Matt,

   I really like this plugin, especially how you treat how the post content is saved.

   Unfortunately, there are some basic missing aspects that don't convert Markdown to HTML:

   • Writing four spaces before text does not mark it as code
   • Writing 1. to start a list, followed in the next item with * does not continue with an ordered list
   • Blockquote is not produced by beginning the line with a "less than" character.

   Thanks for the you you have done.

   That sounds pretty crap. I'll look into it.

   Quick investigation only confirms the second list item one, but only when they are separated by a single space. When separated by a double space, it works just fine. Code and blockquotes work fine for me.

   Questions:

   1. Which versions of WP & MoSI are you running?
   2. Are you running any typography-oriented plugins?

   Interesting.

   I'm on WP 3.3.1 and MoSI 2.0.

   As far as I know, there's no typography-oriented plugins installed. It is a theme I installed from somewhere, but it doesn't import fonts.

   I've tried again. The four spaces does not do the code, and the greater than symbol is not making a blockquote.

   If I had your email address, I could even create a user for you on the blog to see?

   Oh, one other thing: are you using visual editor mode? That could interfere. Use HTML mode.

   Aha, you're right. The first and third items now work when using HTML view.

   Did I miss this in the instructions somewhere?
   Could the plugin disable the visual editor when it's enabled?
   Is this fixed permanently by disabling the visual editor?

   Wasn't in the instructions - hadn't thought about it. I've meant to disable the visual editor when my plugin is active. In the meantime, you can disable the visual editor in your WP profile.

   Otherwise, test your markdown on http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/dingus/ to see how it converts. It's only a bug if there's a discrepancy between it and my plugin.

   I'm seeing the same problem with the text between the dashed lines.

   # title here

   >“a quote" -some dude

   some paragraph text

   When i test it on the PHP Markdown sight you linked it worked fine. So, it's a bug.
