<br> works but <br><br> doesn't

[zrudyt]

If I run the following command:

echo 'Hello<br><br>world' | smu

I expect to see:

<p>Hello<br><br>world</p>

but I get this:

<p>Hello<br><br&gt;world</p>

If I use only one <br> then smu works as expected, but two <br>s mangles the second one. Markdown.pl works in both cases. Do you have any suggestions on how to get around this?

Note: I know there are other ways to embed newlines in the rendered HTML, but I need the Markdown source to be on one line because I need to pass it through sort

Looks like a bug. As a workaround you could use `Hello<br> <br>world` or similar until this is fixed.

Thanks! Here's another one for you:

echo 'hello_world' | smu

returns:

<p>hello<em></em>orld</p>
