Q-26-3 — Inline fragment holds more than one block
An inline markdown fragment,
{=[ … ]=}, parsed to more than one block. An inline fragment must be a single paragraph or empty. The cell is left as written and does not run.
What this means
The {=[ … ]=} form of a markdown fragment asks for inlines: the words,
emphasis, links and code of a single paragraph. The markdown between the
delimiters parsed to more than one block, so there is no single run of
inlines to hand back. The cell was not run and stays in the document as a
plain code block.
Why this happens
- A blank line inside the fragment splits it into two paragraphs.
- The fragment starts a list, a heading, a fenced div or a code block, which are blocks, not inlines.
How to fix
If you meant inlines, remove the blank line or the block-level markup.
If you meant blocks, write the fragment with the block form, {=: … :=},
which can hold any number of blocks:
```{lmd}
local inlines = {=[ one *word* and another ]=}
local blocks = {=:
A first paragraph.
A second paragraph.
:=}
```
