Stash not rendering block in README.md

[Jeff Lasslett]

Greetings,

I have some markdown with a definition list <dl> ... </dl>. Sadly the whole <dl> block is not rendered. I have followed the rules as far as I can tell: the opening and closing tags are in the first column and on lines of their own.

The "dingus" at http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus renders my content just fine. Stash just ignores it.

I installled the ReadMe plugin for stash and in the 'Overview' page that it adds my <dl> block is just shown in source form, not rendered as a lovely definition list as it would be on github.

Below is some test markdown where the definition list isn't rendered by stash:

## What's this?

This is a sample README to see if a definition list will be respected by stash's markdown renderer.

## Definition list should be below here

<dl>

<dt>Some term</dt>

<dd>The definition of that term

</dd>

<dt>Another term</dt>

<dd>Another definition

</dd>

</dl>

## Definition list should be above here

## Another random section

Some __more__ content.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I'm afraid you're not doing anything wrong. I was going to point the finger at Pegdown, which is our open source library for parsing markdown. However, this looks like an actual Stash bug - our HTML sanitiser is stripping out anything inside a dl tag. :(

I've raised an issue for this:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/STASH-3861

Sorry about that.
