HTML in Markdown disappearing when line breaks missing

[johnpuddephatt]

Having problems with HTML in Markdown not rendering properly if it isn't well formatted. Basically it seems like multiple sibling elements on one line is the problem – only the first element makes it through.

e.g. this is fine:

<h1>This works</h1>
<p>Some text</p>

but only the first tag from the below makes it through:

<h1>This doesn't</h1><p>Some text</p>

This appears to be an issue in Parsedown (erusev/parsedown-extra#44) dating back to 2015, which has been fixed but only in a beta release. I'll take a closer look and see if we would have any issues using that beta.

That beta would also make build-time code syntax highlighting possible (erusev/parsedown#568) 👍

Oooh that's slick. I recall having issues last year trying the 1.8 beta, but it's evolved a bit since the last time I looked into it.
