Is it possible render markdown inside HTML Blocks?

Question

I've tried my best to search for the answer, so apologies if this has already been answered.

Is there a way to render markdown inside html blocks?

Basically, this feature from Markdown Extra: https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#markdown-attr

By adding markdown="1" to a div, it would parse inside of it.

# Heading

<div markdown="1">
# Heading
</div>

Right now, markdown inside html just gets output as-is:

<h1>Heading</h1>
<div markdown="1">
# Heading
</div>

I understand this would likely need to be an extension.

This is intentional per the commonmark spec. You need to include a blank line after the opening HTML tag and before the closing tag:

# Heading

<div>

# Heading

</div>

Will become:

<h1>Heading</h1>
<div>
<h1>Heading</h1>
</div>
