Originally created by @clarkd on GitHub (Dec 11, 2018).

Using some CDATA blocks within a code sample seems to break Markdig. The rest of the markdown document does not render in our case.

e.g. trying to render the following markdown:

   # This is a test
   ```xml
   <failure><![CDATA[this is part 1 )]]></failure>
   <step><![CDATA[this is part 2]]></step>
   ```

Results in the following - as you can see, the second part is not rendered.

Any ideas? Is this a known issue?

I can't reproduce this myself, are you using any custom extensions for the test?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Our pipeline looks like this:

        return new MarkdownPipelineBuilder()
        .UseAdvancedExtensions()
        .UseEmojiAndSmiley()
        .UseBootstrap()
        .UseJiraLinks(new JiraLinkOptions("https://xxxxx.atlassian.net"))
        .Build();

I get the following html with these as well:

<h1 id="this-is-a-test">This is a test</h1>
<pre><code class="language-xml">&lt;failure&gt;&lt;![CDATA[this is part 1 )]]&gt;&lt;/failure&gt;
&lt;step&gt;&lt;![CDATA[this is part 2]]&gt;&lt;/step&gt;
</code></pre>

Looks like you are applying a style (I can even see a scrollbar in your caption). Might need to have a look at your CSS (or else), but as @MihaZupan mentioned, the generated HTML looks fine.

@clarkd could you post the generated HTML? It is unlikely a problem in markdig (see babelmark), so as suggested, it might just be the syntax coloring extension messing with generated output?
