While preparing the 1.15 release blog posts, I noticed a few quirks with our maarkdown converter:
\n
followed by a capital letter as a new paragraph, which can cause too many<p>
tags to be inserted at times (a common cause in this blog post was a line break followed by the word "PR").``a string with a single ` :)``
), but our script was confused by this and generated lots of erroneous<tt>
sections where they didn't belong.#\d
in the middle of a word caused the script to assume it was a PR that it should link. In this specific case, the changelog contains several occurrences ofmypy_mypyc-wheels#<PR number>
, which the script was stomping on.This PR contains some minor tweaks for the blog post generation script that attempt to address these quirks.
