Thanks John, Kolen.

@Kolen, my use-case is simple.

I have users of my filter to describe "situation". The "situation"
description itself is free-flow (can use any markdown foramtting scheme and
such, except the description itself not contain markdown header). The
"situation" is associated with one or more "tags".

My current idea is to use the <div> ...</div> block container to describe
the "situation. And the "tags" are annotated as div-kvs. In the filter, i
would like to create a table for each "situation". The table should look
like the following

+------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Situation Name                   | <Name of the situation >          |
+------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Tag1 Key                             | Tag1 Value
      |
+------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Tag2 Key                             | Tag2 Value
      |
+------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+

Hence, i require to generate a table for each div with ['situation' in
div.classes].

Any comments/suggestion in my approach is welcome.

Thanks and with best regards,
Nizam
