For Bug Reports

BookStack Version: v0.16
PHP Version: PHP 7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4
MySQL Version: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.17, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

Expected Behavior

On previous versions of Bookstack, using the Markdown editor, I was able to use sparing amounts of HTML when needed. Thus far, it had only been anchor tags, such as <a name="blah" />. Using these on long documents, I was able to link to the tags to allow the reader to jump among topics.

Actual Behavior

According to the release notes, v0.16 switched markdown editors to Markdown-IT. Unfortunately this does not appear to support any HTML tags. Any time I edit a page with anchor tags, or create a new page, the HTML code is displayed as-is.

If there's a workaround, or if you can be persuaded to switch back or offer the option of choosing our markdown flavor, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi @lxtv,
My apologies, I did not realise that markdown-it had that behavior by default.

Looking at the documentation for markdown-it, HTML can easily be enabled. I've marked this as a priority bug to be part of a bug-fix release this coming weekend.

Oh great, thanks for the quick response. In the meantime, I did find a workaround: copying the tags from the sidebar navigation. This works because all my tags are associated with headers. But it'll be good to have the flexibility of HTML back.
