Markdown formatting in block elements in WordPress
Markdown formatter in WordPress (Jetpack’s one) by default does not format parts inside block elements:
<div style="margin-left: 50px"> Thus, _this_ will **not** work! </div>
But, with addition of markdown="1"
you can enable the magic:
<div style="margin-left: 50px" markdown="1"> And _this_ **will** work! </div>
I love simple solutions!
