What

Resolves #505. Inline HTML keeps its children inside every inline container and block component again. 0.8.0 (#401) moved the text out of the tag:

 **a <b>x</b> b**           [a <b>x</b> b](/u)        # a <b>x</b> b
 ::foo
 Note <b>x</b> end
 ::

-strong("a x", b(), " b")    a("a x", b(), " b")      h1("a x", b(), " b")    foo("Note x", b(), " end")
+strong("a ", b("x"), " b")  a("a ", b("x"), " b")    h1("a ", b("x"), " b")  foo("Note ", b("x"), " end")

Why

Only lists, blockquotes, and tables parsed their children in a fresh HTML scope; strong, em, links, headings, spans, and ::component bodies used insideMarkdownContainer to keep an outer open tag out, which also stopped their own inline HTML from nesting. Now every container uses withHtmlScope, so nest, nestHtml, and insideMarkdownContainer go away. In a component body, block nodes now go through deliverBlock, so ::foo + <div> + a heading keeps its order. A tag left open in a slot also closes with that slot instead of moving into the next.

  • Fixtures SPEC/HTML/inline+component.md, inline+strong.md, and inline+heading.md, plus cases in test/html-block.test.ts for heading order and slots, fail on main and pass here. block+component.md (<Hello> around a component) is unchanged.
  • pnpm run lint, pnpm --filter comark run test (1795 passed, with streaming and auto-close), the @comark/html, ansi, vue, and react tests, and pnpm run typecheck pass.
  • Runnable repro with a patched control: https://github.com/onmax/repros/tree/repro/comark-505/comark-505

Tip

Run npx skills add coldteadotai/pr-lens, then tell your coding agent: "Diagram the change you just made with PR Lens and attach it to the pull request."

🪧 More tips
  • Run npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli analyze --base origin/main on a branch, then npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli render .pr-lens/graph.json. Same lenses, your own model key, before the pull request exists
  • Click the link under each diagram to open it on a canvas you can zoom, pan and step through
  • The diagrams are links. Click one to open it on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change
  • Open a diagram on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change one step at a time
  • The CLI's render reads .github/pr-lens.yml and applies your renames, exclusions and lane pins at draw time
  • Set github.comment.collapsed: true in .github/pr-lens.yml to fold the comment behind one View architecture and data flow row. Drawing still runs as before
  • Set github.draw: on-demand in .github/pr-lens.yml and PR Lens stops drawing pull requests on its own. Comment @pr-lens draw on a pull request when you want that one drawn
  • Add .github/workflows/pr-lens.yml with coldteadotai/pr-lens/packages/action@v0 and your model provider's key as its api-key to run PR Lens from your own CI. Any /chat/completions endpoint works
  • After a push, tick Redraw to draw the latest commit
  • Switch GitHub to dark mode and the diagrams follow. The moving dots are this pull request's data in motion

📝 Walkthrough

The parser now delivers inline content through the active HTML stack and processes containers in scoped HTML contexts. New specifications and tests cover inline HTML in headings, emphasis, links, and components, including HTML frame closure at slot boundaries.

Changes: Inline HTML parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inline HTML delivery
packages/comark/src/internal/parse/tree.ts, packages/comark/test/html-block.test.ts, packages/comark/SPEC/HTML/inline+heading.md, packages/comark/SPEC/HTML/inline+strong.md
Inline content is delivered through the active HTML stack. Paragraph processing emits sibling results when an HTML frame remains open. Tests and specifications cover inline HTML in headings, strong text, and links.
Component HTML scopes
packages/comark/src/internal/parse/tree.ts, packages/comark/test/html-block.test.ts, packages/comark/SPEC/HTML/inline+component.md
Component slots and block containers use scoped HTML parsing. Remaining frames close at scope boundaries. Tests and specifications cover component content, ordering, and slot-local closure.

Explanation

Issue #505 requires inline HTML children to remain inside their HTML element within a block component. The parser now uses fresh HTML scopes for containers and MDC blocks, and slot flushing closes open frames within the slot. The added component specification and tests cover the required AST and rendered HTML behavior. The changes also preserve block ordering inside component content.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The parser changes apply the HTML-scope fix across related inline and block containers. The added specifications and tests verify regressions caused by the same scope handling. The available change summary shows no unrelated feature or public API change.

🟡 Minor · Preserve inline HTML classification in inline containers. · tree.ts:368-378

packages/comark/src/internal/parse/tree.ts:368-378
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve inline HTML classification in inline containers.

For # a <b>text, html_inline creates the b frame with block: false. The new heading scope calls closeHtmlFrames, which unconditionally changes that frame to block: true. The resulting inline child violates the AST contract and can be treated as block HTML.

Pass the scope type to cleanup. Keep promotion for block containers, but preserve block: false for headings and other inline containers.
