hoo boy, I hope upgrading from Debian packaging's pandoc clears up the abject struggle its markdown parser has with emphasis tags. I don't know what use case it works for, but it's clearly not fiction

You're here for the fic; all of it is also on my personal site.

in reply to @caffeinatedOtter's post:
- grab deb of latest pandoc from pandoc project website
- Unpacking pandoc (3.1.9-1) over (2.17.1.1-3)
- run new version
- check output for something the old version got obviously wrong
- identically fucked
- hooray!
The most identifable problem it has is when the first or last word of dialogue is emphasised, where for the kerning to work out right you need the punctuation included:
*"First* word emphasised," or
"Last word *emphasised,"*
and if I had to make an educated guess, somewhere it's treating the quotation marks as if they're tags, and therefore improperly nested tags, and it's ending up just passing the asterisks through verbatim
i haven’t even used pandoc in forever but i do remember it being kinda funky?
what are you trying to convert markdown into? depending on the goal a dedicated program might be more useful
Just HTML! I grabbed for the first tool I already knew of, on the basis that, hey, probably can't go too wrong with entirely vanilla Markdown, right? Haha.
yeah you definitely might have better luck with a different markdown converter, depending on the exact issue
