HTML tags in markdown document and consequences

Reported by: philippe Owned by: sop

Description

Pandoc markdown permits to include HTML tags in a markdown document, and keeps interpreting any text outside of the tags as markdown. Thus:

<div style="color:green">_This text will be shown in green because of HTML style and in italics because of markdown formatting_</div>

will result when processed by standalone pandoc into the desired behaviour (green text in italics).

On co-ment, when editing the text as markdown, the HTML tags will be removed at save time.

This results in an impossibility to choose a font color, which is a bit extreme.

Possible treatment of this issue :
1) Allow (if possible) a limited number of HTML tags that do not interfere with co-ment treatment of comment scope.
2) Include in the editor a text color choice which will be stored as in-line (in markdown) HTML tags. Same problem than above but better control.
3) Extend pandoc markdown with a font color spec.
