Markdown syntax inside HTML tags now require double new lines to work

[Voileexperiments]

It used to be working fine, but now some old katas have description with broken formatting because they're doing something like this:

<p>
`Markdown`
</p>which would result in<p>`Markdown`</p>

While Markdown syntax inside HTML code needs to start with at least 2 new lines, like

<p>

`Markdown`</p>which would render properly:<p>`Markdown`</p>I'm not sure it's a Markdown rendering library bug or intended behaviour, but I've seen at least several old katas (mostly from myjinxin and matt c's) that is suffering from this problem. They need to be fixed.

Katas that I've fixed so far:

• Mahjong Winning Hand Validation series (4 katas)
• https://www.codewars.com/kata/invalid-login-bug-fixing-number-11

Thanks for fixing them!

This is specified by CommonMark (https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#html-block) and implemented by the libraries we use. This used to work differently because Codewars was using very outdated markdown libraries.

what exactly does that mean here?

Find all the katas that suffer from this issue and fix their description.

In a lot of myjinxin's katas, they use font color, but it shows incorrectly in most of the random tets:

Putting a whitespace before the html element fixes it. (altho instead of you need  .)

Not related at all. Test outputs are not part of Codewars and it's not markdown.

Putting a whitespace before the html element fixes it. (altho instead of you need  .)

This is probably because of <font> not being caught by HTML auto detection (font element is obsolete) which is required to render the log as HTML. Adding   makes it considered HTML.

--------100 Random Test--------- is using some other element so that's why that section works.
