Title: Inline HTML --- If Markdown syntax lacks of some functionality we need, we still can write some parts of the chapter in pure HTML. You do not need any special syntax, etc. - just write in HTML, if you need it. The only constraint is that the HTML block tags, such as `
`, ``, `
`, `

` etc. must be separated with an empty line from the rest of the text and they must not be followed with spaces or tabulation. Otherwise, they would be wrapped with a paragraph. Here is a sample of a HTML table: ~~~ A paragraph

Something
Another paragraph ~~~ Beware - in this case the Markdown syntax **is not parsed inside the tags**. You have to use for example, `` instead of `**emphasis**`. Span elements, like ``, `` or `` can be used everywhere. They can also replace some Markdown syntax - feel free to use `` and `` if you do not like the Markdown way. Markdown syntax is still enabled in the span tags. Markdown syntax in block elements ================================= The original Markdown syntax does not allow to parse its own symbols inside block HTML tags. However, the parser has been extended with a special option which turns on the parsing on demand. You must add a special HTML attribute `markdown` whose value is `1`: ~~~
This *Markdown text* is still parsed! Yeah!
~~~ #### The result: ~~~

This Markdown text is still parsed! Yeah!

~~~ The parser recognizes various tag types. For example, if you turn on the syntax for `

`, only the span elements will be formatted, and the lists or quote blocks will remain unparsed. In some cases this may lead to problems: ~~~
This *Markdown text* is still parsed!
~~~ The table cell accepts both block and span elements, but Markdown will parse only the second ones. If you need some block elements there, use `markdown="block"` attribute instead.
