No, the question was "if you want to indent something without it turning into code, how do you do that". That was in response to your comment about indented code. > And the answer is: > then you write raw HTML, because Markdown deliberately has no > syntax for indenting, because HTML has no element to express > indented text. OK, that's not what I expected, but it's still nonsense. 1. HTML has no element to express "indented code", either. 2. HTML *does* have an element to express indented text. It's got several. Pick one. 3. In any case, that's like refusing to implement square roots in a runtime library because some processors don't have it in hardware. Who the hell cares what HTML does, it's machine code as far as a higher level input format it concerned.There's stuff above here
