Does anyone have the slightest idea what this does?

What this page says is:

Configuration

By default, Markdown produces XHTML output for tags with empty elements. E.g.:

``

Markdown can be configured to produce HTML-style tags; e.g.:

``

Movable Type

You need to use a special MTMarkdownOptions container tag in each Movable Type template where you want HTML 4-style output:

`... put your entry content here ...`

The easiest way to use MTMarkdownOptions is probably to put the opening tag right after your tag, and the closing tag right before ``.

To suppress Markdown processing in a particular template, i.e. to publish the raw Markdown-formatted text without translation into (X)HTML, set the output attribute to ‘raw’:

`... put your entry content here ...`
