   Arglll... I have just notice that the forum has destroyed my examples... and my text....

   Ok, I will repeat it with the correct formatting output:

   This doesn’t seem to be happening for me. The only thing I can think
   of that would affect it is if you have “#text is tag” enabled in
   Processor preferences. Is that the case?

   Also, please confirm the preferences below: you’re using the
   MultiMarkdown processor and no custom processors?

   Thanks,
   Brett
