The attach file causes Marked to beach ball. Because this is an internal document, I replaced the content but not the structure.

This may not be a document structure you want to support, but it still shouldn't peg my CPU forever. :)

    You have multiple closing pre tags that have malformed opening tags (such as missing leading angle bracket, or spelled "pree"). It's hard enough for Markdown processors to work around HTML, but malformed HTML can cause some serious issues.

    Sorry, Brett. It looks like that happened when I was trying to remove the content while keeping the structure intact. Try this one.

    To be clear, I don't really expect this document to render if it's invalid in some way. But locking up the app forever isn't good, either.

    The problem is that your file, even when cut in half, hangs MultiMarkdown itself. Even the latest 4.2 version. Marked has a deadman's switch on the process, but if it hangs completely I can't stop it. I found that kramdown can parse this formatting better than MultiMarkdown, so you could consider installing that as a custom processor. If you need assistance doing that, just let me know.

    Hope that helps.

    No, that's fine. I can fix the file. It's ugly. :)
