[[!meta title="Weird interaction between toc plugin and markdown that follows"]]
http://vcs-pkg.org/people/ goes really weird when I enable the toc plugin. It renders the page sections fine without it, but as soon as I turn it on, the following output is generated:

I have no idea what's eating the first two headers. But as you can see from the current page, it's not just headers by any markdown...

This is a markdown bug. It occurs with 1.0.1, but not with the 1.0.2
beta. Apparently markdown is getting confused by the div inserted for the
toc, not realizing that it has ended, and so not marking up the text as
markdown. 1.0.2 fixes many such div-related markdown bugs. I have to call
this [[done]] since it's not an ikiwiki bug, recommend upgrading markdown
if the slower speed of 1.0.2 doesn't hurt too badly. --[[Joey]]


Note how it works on http://madduck.net/docs/mailfilter/ but adding a rule like in that doc to the people page didn't fix it.


Yes, it's probably confused by the two divs so close to each other, and
doesn't realize that the text in between is not part of either and is
markdown. Problem is that the old markdown doesn't have a real html
parser, it just fakes it --[[Joey]]
