Hum, I'm not sure where you're adding these PHP blocks that get  
caught by Markdown. Are you converting Markdown to HTML using BBEdit,  
or using the PHP Markdown plugin for WordPress? Are you adding these  
PHP chunks in posts and/or pages within WordPress or in the  
templates? And are you using another plugin tho make PHP code in  
posts and/or pages execute because it seems to me that WordPress  
doesn't execute PHP code in posts and pages by default?

It's hard to give advice without knowing more, but it's certain that  
< MTMarkdownOptions> won't work in WordPress because it's a template  
tag for MovableType, not WordPress.
