PHP Markdown allows one to use markdown inside HTML blocks - simply by adding markdown=1 attribute to appropriate HTML block.

It would be nice if python markdown also allowed for such a feature.

I faced the problem after migrating my blog from PHP to Python but seems I am not the only one. It is useful in cases like

```html

Some *normal* markdown [text][] here.

```
or

```html

Some *markdown text*

# code block which is to stay inside blockquote

Yet another *markdown text*

```
