If you want to meddle with a Markdown parser, you might find xMarkdown
easier - no ordering issues, smaller codebase.

In xMarkdown, you can probably just 'return undef;' at the top of
processHTML(); I think that does what you want (in document HTML will
disappear, unless it's in a code block, in which case it just gets
passed through encoded).
