This is probably not your issue, but one upstream, perhaps related to the beautifully ambiguous markdown syntax.

| L1 ok   | chr | "x" ... "x" ... "x" ...   |
| L2 ok   | chr | " " ... " " ... " " ...   |
| L3 huh? | chr | " " ... " " ... "" ...    |
| L4 huh? | chr | new line                  |

   Appears to be an issue with the specific version of MultiMarkdown I have embedded. Using GFM or the current version of multimarkdown as a custom processor, it's not an issue.

   life would be a lot better if all the markdown dialects had agreed on some basic working principles...the markdown that rules all markdowns.

   Yeah, that's what CommonMark aims to be, but there are so many benefits to various Markdown flavors that you kind of have to put up with inconsistencies. But I'll try to get the MMD version in Marked updated to solve issues like this.
