 Markdown mode freezes Emacs when using TeX input method in a header
Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2016 20:02:52 +0200

Elpa Markdown mode makes Emacs use 100% CPU and be unresponsive (C-g has 
no effect) when using TeX input method in a header followed by an URL.

Steps to reproduce:

- Run: emacs -q
- Execute (if you are using Debian or derivatives and installed 
 elpa-markdown-mode — otherwise see 
 http://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/):

(load
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/markdown-mode-2.1/markdown-mode.el")

- Create a file, say a.md, containing

#

http://

- Place the cursor after "#".

- Switch to TeX input method (C-\ and select TeX)

- Type \  (then Emacs freezes)


emacs-25.1.50.1 and emacs-26.0.50.1 (compiled from the Git repository)
have the same problem.

Thank you for your report.

I'm not sure why do you think it's an Emacs bug.  AFAICT, Emacs
infloops in font-lock routines set up by markdown-mode, so it could
well be a bug in markdown-mode itself.

Closing - please report to markdown-mode maintainer(s).
