With the new --us-ascii (aka --ascii) option enabled, any characters
with a code point value larger than 127 are output using their
equivalent numerical character entity.
This makes the output strictly US-ASCII (which is a subset of UTF-8)
and should allow it to survive almost any transport mechanism at
the expense of an increase in size that depends on how many
non-US-ASCII characters are present.

When auto-quoting the attribute value of something like this:
<a href=http://example.com/test/>test</a>
Do not stop at the first "/", instead pick up the entire value.
Of course, whitespace will still terminate the value being auto-quoted.
Additionally, when checking the end of the tag to see if it's
self-closing (e.g. "<br/>") do not include the final character of
any value that may have been picked up by the auto-quoting process.
For the example above, that prevents the opening "a" tag from
mistakenly being considered self-closing just because the value
being auto-quoted happens to end in a "/" and butts right up against
the final ">" of the tag.

Given a list like so:
* 1. item
* 2. items
* 3. items
Each line contains two list item "markers". The first is
an unordered list marker "*" and the second is an ordered
list marker ("1.", "2." or "3.").
However, a sublist (the "1.", "2." or "3.") may not start
inside the actual marker line of the parent list.
Make sure that any text on the same line following the initial
list marker does *not* get recognized as the start of a sublist.
In other words, make sure the above does _NOT_ produce:
<ul>
<li><ol><li>item</li></ol></li>
<li><ol start="2"><li value="2">items</li></ol></li>
<li><ol start="3"><li value="3">items</li></ol></li>
</ul>
But instead more correctly produces this output:
<ul>
<li>1. item</li>
<li>2. items</li>
<li>3. items</li>
</ul>
Recognizing a sublist start within any of the parent list's marker
lines does not make sense. With this change this longstanding
problem is corrected once again.
The problem was first fixed in version 1.1.0 and remained fixed in
version 1.1.1 but that fix caused too many problems and was reverted
causing versions 1.1.2 through 1.1.13 to be broken again.
The technique used to fix the problem this time differs from the
previous attempt and will hopefully survive scrutiny keeping the
problem resolved from now on.

Make --strip-comments be an alias for --strip-comments-lax.
Make --strip-comments-lax-only be the default whenever --sanitize
is active (which is the default).
Whenever possible, running Markdown.pl without any options should
provide the best output possible by default.
Turning what appear to be (at first glance) XML comments into plain
text in the output clearly violates the principle of least surprise
and can make for some very ugly pages.
Similarly using a `--strip-comments` option and discovering those
same plain text XML comments in the output also invites bewilderment.
Instead, make `--strip-comments` be a short form of `--strip-comments-lax`
and make `--strip-comments-lax-only` be the normal default.
By doing this there are no ugly page surprises by default.
Those pesky double hyphen sequences (`--`) that have furtively
slipped into what were supposed to be strictly valid XML comments
thereby making them strictly invalid XML comments are now rendered
impotent by default.
The output remains strictly valid XML uncontaminated by the surprise
appearance of strictly invalid XML comments suddenly rendered as
plain text due to accidental inclusion of a double hyphen sequence.

When making a nice looking table such as this:
Term | Detail
-------------- | --------------
First term | number one
Second term | number two
There is a potential to misinterpret the header line as
the beginning of a code block (the indented type) since
it begins with 5 spaces.
Of course this could be addressed either by moving the
"Term" string to the left at least 2 spaces or by adding
the optional leading "|" to the beginning of the column,
but that's unnecessarily ugly.
Instead, when parsing a code block, check to see if the
code block consists of exactly one line and when combined
with the next line represents a valid table start.
A valid table start specifies a header row and a separator
row with exactly the same (positive integer) number of columns.
If a valid table start is found, avoid making it into a
code block and instead allow the table code to grab it and
make it into a table.

Correct a longstanding issue with the regex used when matching
code blocks. Specifically the 4-spaces-indented kind of code
block.
The code block ends either at either the end of the document
or when a non-indented line is encountered.
The pattern looking for the non-indented line actually allowed
a match with up to the full 4-space indentation.
It hasn't been a problem because the greedy matcher before that
part of the pattern grabs any lines with 4 or more spaces of
indentation.
However, leaving the pattern as-is leaves it more ambiguous than
necessary and leaves open more backtracking possibilities (although
in this case the greedy matcher should prevent them being used).
Correct the pattern to reflect the actual syntax and make that
part of the pattern non-capturing to make the compiled pattern
just that little bit slightly more efficient.

While other targets could, potentially, represent legitimate
issues for concern, opening a new window generally does not
since that's typically a readily available option in the user
agent anyway when choosing to follow any individual link.
While using target="_blank" does not really represent any
security issue, it may be an annoyance issue, but that's something
for the author to address, not the sanitizer.
Although rel="nofollow" is _not_ part of the HTML 4 standard,
it may be very useful to avoid "endorsing" sites that are being
linked to. Since it does not introduce any risk of scripting
issues or other hidden issues, go ahead and allow it too.

Adjust code to properly handle "empty" tags that are written as an open
plus closing tag but do not contain any whitespace in the opening tag.
The code already properly handles turning <hr noshade></hr> into
just <hr noshade="noshade" />, but it was failing to handle that
when the opening tag did not contain any whitespace such as <br></br>.
Adjust the code to return the proper value for the opening tag under
such a condition so that it's handled properly.
Previously a sequence such as <br></br> would fail as it would end
up being turned into <br /></br> which then fails XML validation.
Now it works properly and turns <br></br> into <br /> as it should
have been doing all along.

With --strip-comments-lax even strictly invalid XML comments will
be stripped.
With --strip-comments-lax-only only strictly invalid XML comments
will be stripped.
Allowing strictly invalid XML comments to pass through to the output
would produce invalid XML.
By default such invalid comments end up having their leading '<'
escaped so that they become plain text in the output thereby avoiding
making it invalid XML.
However, if comments are being stripped out, there's no reason the
standard cannot be relaxed a little bit since the output will remain
valid XML as the comments will not be passed through to the output
in that case.
The two new options, --strip-comments-lax and --strip-comments-lax-only
provide a choice of behavior, strip all comments including the
strictly invalid ones, or just strip the strictly invalid ones.

Each H1, H2, ... H6 generated courtesy of markdown markup has an
implicit anchor assigned based on the content of the element.
For example:
# This is an _H1_ header
Strip any inline markup (in this case the '_'s) out before creating
the implicit anchor. With this change, the text used to generate
the anchor for the above is just "This is an H1 header".
There are a couple of additional places where text that might have
inline markup gets turned into an identifier (implicit reference
links such as [thing][] or [thing] and wiki links without an
explicit link destination such as [[thing]]). Perform the same
tag stripping for them too before trying to find the destination.

Given an input document like this:
<div>
<p>
<pre>hi</pre>
</p>
</div>
It will validate just fine in `--raw-xml` mode. However, in normal
"html/xhtml" mode, the "pre" opening tag automatically closes the
currently open "p" tag leading to this:
<div>
<p>
</p><pre>hi</pre>
</p>
</div>
Without further intervention, the closing "p" tag that was already
there (just before the closing "div" tag), now has no matching open
"p" tag to close anymore -- the corresponding open tag is now the
open "div" section. Obviously the document fails to validate at
this point.
The naive fix simply has the closing tag that corresponds to the
opening tag that caused the "p" to be auto-closed to then automatically
re-open a "p" at that point producing this:
<div>
<p>
</p><pre>hi</pre><p>
</p>
</div>
While such a solution does work, it frequently ends up introducing
extra unwanted "p" sections.
Instead of reopening the "p" immediately upon seeing the closing
tag that matches the opening tag that auto-closed the "p", simply
set a "reopen p" flag.
When the "reopen p" flag is set and suitable conditions are met,
then go ahead and "reopen" a new "p" tag.
The exact conditions are a bit of an heuristic at the moment but
amount to clearing the "reopen p" flag when the next start tag is
seen and inserting a new "p" at that time only if the open tag is
a text level element opening tag.
Alternatively, if the "reopen p" flag is currently set and some
non-whitespace text shows up before seeing another open tag, re-open
a new "p" at that point (and clear the "reopen p" flag).
Finally, if the flag is currently set and a closing "p" tag appears,
just discard it and clear the "reopen p" flag. Essentially this
case has the effect of just moving the closing "p" tag.
With these changes, the troublesome document now produces this:
<div>
<p>
</p><pre>hi</pre>
</div>
An improvement on what came before. Some might argue that the empty
"p" section ought to simply be omitted entirely. Perhaps. But
there was an explicit open "p" tag in the text -- auto closing it
is one thing -- removing an explicit open tag entirely is something
else.
Additionally, since the validator validates in a "streamy" way,
that's much more difficult to accomplish since at the time the
initial opening "p" has been seen there's not yet any information
available about the fact it's about to be auto-closed while still
not containing any text and it therefore gets emitted to the output.

When commit c86fea4089 ("Markdown:
enhance link handling", 2019-10-20, markdown_1.1.8) did its thing,
a new global (%g_anchors_id) was introduced to keep track of all
the link ids being used/generated in order to better connect them
up to the links meant to target them.
Unfortunately, that hash was not getting cleared before processing
each new document. While this is mostly not a problem when running
from the command line since typically only one document ever gets
processed at once, if more than one document is processed at a time,
prior documents could affect the link fragment targets for subsequent
documents.
Correct the problem by properly resetting the global (along with
all the others that are also reset) before processing a new document.
