So are you saying that you disagree with the current “hmtl as superset” version of markdown? Or are you saying that it’s good that he didn’t go all the way and support markdown-in-html-in-markdown because the halfway point makes it perfectly half usable for the point of having html in the first place?

Markdown is great but there are some minor points where it fails spectacularly with only minor tweaks needed to improve it tremendously. Also code ticks at its point to most are just considered part of “standard” markdown.
