image tag fails to render when surrounded by <center></center>

[csharpgh]

if you surround a image reference such as with

it fails to convert the tag into an html reference to the image file.

[kminchev]

<center> is deprecated.

@kminchev this may be true, however, img will always fail to render when wrapped into a block element. So, also if you wrap an img in a figure tag, it won't be rendered.

Another rendering parser (Text::Markdown) works similarly and argues:

Markdown is not interpreted in HTML block-level elements, in order for chunks of pasted HTML (e.g. JavaScript widgets, web counters) to not be magically (mis)interpreted.

But, they allow for a work-around:

For selective processing of Markdown in some, but not other, HTML block elements, add a markdown attribute to the block element and set its value to 1, on or yes.

Maybe such a thing could be implemented in parsedown as well?

@otaka-san there is https://github.com/erusev/parsedown-extra for that.

@cebe Oh, great! I should have checked that before obviously … thanks! Didn't know.

HTML will prevent markdown processing if it is included on the same line and the line starts with HTML (per CommonMark spec)
