Element Attributes only support simple markdown, no nested inline elements

[joshdcomp]

Consider:

<section data-markdown>
    <script type="text/template">
        #intro to svg
        - Vector images <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
        - A permutation of `XML` <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
    </script>
</section>

This results in A permutation of XML just showing up onSlideLoad, ignoring the intended fragment order.

I tried <!-- li: class="fragment" --> but that just displays all list items onSlideLoad.

This applies for anything in markdown that would create html inside of that line (italic, bold, pre, etc).

I'd like for a way to denote fragments in markdown for elements that contain inline elements.

Seen this quite a few times, see also #1242 and #1001.

The following works around it:

# Slide Title
- <!-- .element: class="fragment" --> Something with `code`

I've the same issue with bold and markdown:

<section data-markdown>
    <script type="text/template">
      ### Alignak: the monitoring framework (2/2)
      Alignak is made of several parts that can be run on the same server or distributed:

      *  **Arbiter:** manages configuration and is an orchestra conductor <!-- .element: class="fragment" data-fragment-index="1" -->
    </script>
</section>

Put "comment" before solve it.

Yes can confirm, I was having the same problem and was sad because I really like the markdown syntax.

The solution proposed by @STRML works nicely. Maybe you should present this version of the solution here? This way people would not stumble on this 'nested' problem?

[joshdcomp]

Sorry I keep meaning to followup—@STRML's workaround is indeed what I was looking for, and I agree with @nschoe that this use case is common enough that if the workaround is intended to be the 'correct' approach, it should be included in the readme

[STRML]

Perhaps even better, it would be good to have a new syntax for this. I've used https://github.com/rstacruz/markdown-it-decorate in personal projects and I find the extra flexibility to be really useful.

The workaround doesn't really work anymore. It seems to disable Markdown for that item, so it gets rendered as "something with `code`" rather than "something with code".

what time are we supposed cc

[zeorin]

- foo <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- bar <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
<li class="fragment"><a href="example.com">baz</a></li>

works, as a bit of an ugly workaround.

Any progress with this?
