Bold and italics within code blocks aren't recognized

Pass them through as raw HTML instead.

What's the use case for this? I'm having trouble understanding why you'd want this result.

That patch (and the other ones) comes from my Blogger-to-Ikiwiki conversion script.

On my blog, I've got code samples where I highlight particular pieces by making them bold or italics.

Yeah, but in standard Markdown indented HTML tags get escaped. So this doesn't seem like it would help. Is this not true with ikiwiki?

[fmarier]

Hm, you're right. I just tried it with the normal markdown cli tool and the above test case produces this mess:

<p>This is a <b>bold</b> statement.</p>

<pre><code>This is a &lt;i&gt;foreign&lt;/i&gt; word.
</code></pre>

which isn't even consistent.

In the ikiwiki parser, it lets these tags through. In fact I have more hacks that take advantage of that.
