I've currently returned to doing a little work on PMEdit (see PerlMonks Editor). After mostly fixing a nasty rendering problem I find I need to know which PM specific markup is block level, which is not and which is both.

For example, c or code is both. readmore is block level only. spoiler I presume is not block level.

Can someone confirm that I have that much right, or at least point me at the code where such things are handled?

What other PM/everything specific markup need I be aware of? (I've checked Perl Monks Approved HTML tags btw.)

Update: Should PMEdit render nested elements correctly? For example:

<i><p>italic <b>bold italic</i> bold</p>
<p>still bold.</b> normal</p>

[download]

renders as:

italic bold italic bold

still bold. normal

which, although expected, is rather frowned on. Would it be appropriate for PMEdit to coerce that to:

<p><i>italic <b>bold italic</b></i><b> bold</b></p>
<p><b>still bold.</b> normal</p>

[download]

which renders as:

italic bold italic bold

still bold. normal

Update: Should formating be supported across code blocks. For example:

<i><code>
code block italicised
</code></i>

[download]

Renders as:

code block italicised
