[Python-markdown-discuss] Re: Markdown's deprecated "save_mode" option

Sorry for the delayed response. I found this message at the bottom of a long list of things waiting for me to write a reply.

If you would like HTML entities to be escaped as well as HTML tags, then you can remove the `entity` inlinePattern. Just add the appropriate line to your Extension class:

    class EscapeHtml(Extension):
        def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals):
            del md.preprocessors['html_block']
            del md.inlinePatterns['html']
            del md.inlinePatterns['entity']

Hope that helps.

Greetings,

in the release notes for version 2.6 I found the following workaround
for the former "save_mode='escape'" option:

$ cat test
#! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-

import markdown
from markdown.extensions import Extension

class EscapeHtml(Extension):
def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals):
del md.preprocessors['html_block']
del md.inlinePatterns['html']

print markdown.markdown('<&>:& becomes &amp;', extensions=[EscapeHtml()])
$ ./test
<p>&lt;&amp;&gt;:&amp; becomes &amp;</p>
$

However, I would expect the output to be

<p>&lt;&amp;&gt;:&amp; becomes &amp;amp;</p>

and that is also what the former "save_mode='escape'" did. Is there an
easy way to modify the above "EscapeHtml" extension so it will also esc-
ape the "&" in "&amp;"?

Any pointers appreciated.

Sincerely,
Rainer
