Error parsing multi-line quoted text containing asterisk. about earmark HOT 6 CLOSED

This is not an error but a design choice as explained in the README.

Two workarounds come into mind immediately

iex(7)> text = ~s/Hello `sign\n \\* one`/
"Hello `sign\n \\* one`"
iex(8)> Earmark.to_html text             
"<p>Hello `sign\n * one`</p>\n"
iex(9)> text = ~s/Hello `sign\n &nbsp;* one`/
"Hello `sign\n &nbsp;* one`"
iex(10)> Earmark.to_html text                 
"<p>Hello `sign\n &nbsp;* one`</p>\n"
iex(11)> text = ~s/Hello `sign\n &nbsp;* one`/

Not sure how the second renders. Maybe it is just best to rearrange the doc so that the line does not start with an * which is more readable anyway.

For what it is worth, about 30% of the markdown implementations on Babelmark (http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/?text=%60sign%0A*+expression%60) agree with Dave's interpretation.

oops that reveals another issue

@tubedude sorry if I missread your issue, you meant #49 not the <ul> issue right?

from earmark.

Yes @RobertDober I think this issue is related to the backquotes enclosing a multiline text.
I agree with you that this issue and #49 are the same.

@pragdave I just pushed a development branch that fixes #48, #49 & #51. However the code is not one that I would happily merge into master.
I need your wisdom here :). But is this the right place to discuss the code quality and design choices I have made? (or rather not made, I tried to respect your design as much as possible)
