Multiline formatting

Would love a pull request with a fix on this. Or at least a failing test case we can add the fix against.

Yeah a nasty little bugger - it is one of the reasons I wanted to change to a library because it is pretty tricky: I have the same Problem with the "Code"-Tag.

It produces illegal html in quite many cases. The code tag is an inline tag like a span, so for multiline code you would need to wrap it in a PRE-tag, I have tried such a filter, it makes the HTML mess worse.

it produces BR-tags in the PRE-environment which makes every line brake twice, and a multi line break produces the illegal P-tag as described above.

The problem is the rails formatting method which does not care about the meaning of HTML - and so it does not even matter if you make the bb formatting before or after you call the formatting method.

I don't think there is an easy solution to this. I just wanted to report that I also ran into this - and I will just live with the broken HTML.

This is a more general problem underlying that this is not a real BB parser, but just a regex-hack. I was looking for a real BB parser, but it seems there is none for Ruby/Rails.

You probably should fix this as Won't Fix, because it is a fundamental problem you will not be able to solve with Regular Expression. The Problem is outside of a Type-3 Grammer. If someone could point me to a real Parser for BB code, this would be real helpful.

Thanks.

PS: I found rbb which is a real parser based on treetop, however not enough features for me.
