Markdown problems

Markdown problem 1

As I understand markdown you should be able to enter raw html. However, when I tried to make a <table> with some information about one of my projects, the Octupus Deploy server responded with an error, ala: “A potentially dangerous Request.Forms value was detected…” Of course this is due to standard asp.net request validation, but I propose that no user input should result in a server error. It might result in an informative input error but not a server error. Expected result: Either the table tag should be html encoded or even better, be rendered as i typed it. :slight_smile:

Markdown problem 2

After my table failure I tried to format my data differently. However the following input does not render correctly according to the markdown syntax page (note: first 2 lines ends with 2 spaces):
Head1: Value1
Head2: Value2
Head3: Value3

Expected result

Head1: Value1
Head2: Value2
Head3: Value3

Actual result

Head1: Value1
**Head2:** Value2
**Head3:** Value3

Note, your support system handles both these cases correctly… See above and below. :wink:

Head1 Value1
Head2 Value2
Head3 Value3

Hi Johannes,

Thanks for the bug report, I’ll fix this and include it in the next release.

Hi Johannes,

This is now fixed:

Hi Paul,

I’ve been on vacation, so I apologize for the late reply.

I’ve just tested the two problems in version 1.0.30.1340. Problem 1 seems to be fixed and the markdown now lets html elements through. Great! However problem 2 still persists. I know this is not a critical error or anything, and I definitely don’t expect you to spend any time fixing it unless you get REALLY bored some day. :slight_smile:

Just sayin’ :wink:

Thanks!
