MarkdownOptions
Use the MarkdownOptions block tag to format content with the Markdown text formatting syntax.
By default, Markdown produces XHTML output for tags with empty elements. E.g.:
<br />
Markdown can be configured to produce HTML-style tags; e.g.:
<br>
You need to use a special <mt:MarkdownOptions> container (block) tag in each Movable Type template where you want HTML 4-style output:
<mt:MarkdownOptions output='html4'>
... put your entry content here ...
</mt:MarkdownOptions>
The easiest way to use MarkdownOptions is probably to put the opening tag right after your <body> tag, and the closing tag right before </body>.
To suppress Markdown processing in a particular template, i.e. to publish the raw Markdown-formatted text without translation into (X)HTML, set the output attribute to ‘raw’:
<mt:MarkdownOptions output='raw'>
... put your entry content here ...
</mt:MarkdownOptions>
Attributes
output: valid values arehtml4,raw, or no value. Specifying no value produces XHTML output.
