Why isn't MarkdownSharp encoding my HTML?

Question

In my mind, one of the bigger goals of Markdown is to prevent the user from typing potentially malformed HTML directly.

Well that isn\'t exactly working for me in Markdo

Maybe I'm not understanding? If you are starting a new code block in Markdown, in all its varieties, you do need a double linebreak and four-space indentation -- a single newline won't do in any of the renderers I have to hand.

abc -- Here comes a code block:

    
 This is code

yielding:

abc -- Here comes a code block:

 This is code

From what you are saying it seems that MarkdownSharp does fine with this rule, so with just one newline (but indentation):

 abc -- Here comes a code block:
     
 This should be code

we get a mess not a code block:

abc -- Here comes a code block: This should be code

I assume StackOverflow is stripping the

tags, because they think comments shouldn't have divisions and suchlike things. (?) (In general they have to do a lot of other processing don't they, e.g. to get syntax highlighting and so on?)

EDIT: I think people are expecting the wrong thing of a Markdown implementation. For example, as I say below, there is no such thing as 'invalid markdown'. It isn't a programming language or anything like one. I have verified that all three markdown implementations I have available from the command line indifferently 'convert' random .js and .c files, or those inserted into otherwise sensible markdown -- and also interpolated zip files and other nonsense -- into valid html that browsers don't mind displaying at all -- chicken scratches though it is. If you want to exclude something, e.g. in a wiki program, you do something further, of course, as most markdown-employing wiki programs do.
