This seems to be by-effect of the legacy algorithm for parsing section titles (cf. [bugs:#213]).
This is fixed by [patches:#346].

**[bugs:#505] Curious repeated paragraph**

**Status:** open-fixed
**Created:** Thu Jun 26, 2025 06:38 PM UTC by Harmen
**Last Updated:** Sun Jul 20, 2025 09:47 PM UTC
**Owner:** nobody


When the following is parsed, the line that says "this is repeated" appears **twice** as a paragraph.

```
=========
section 1
=========

---
abc
---

this is repeated

=========
section 2
=========
```

It is fixed by:

1. Adding an additional newline after the sentence
2. Using 4 hyphens `----` instead of 3 `---` above and below `abc`
3. Removing the upper `---`

Pandoc renders this as expected (at least by me).
