Line can't begin with @.

Apparently there's a defunct metadata syntax which used @:

$ echo "@ foo" | maruku

But it can't be escaped:

$ echo "\@ foo" | maruku
<p>\@ foo</p>

My current workaround is to add a zero width non-joiner in front of the @, just so it's not the first thing on the line:

$ echo "‌@ foo"
<p>&zwnj;@ foo</p>

[bhollis]

Yeah, that syntax should really be removed.

[bhollis]

OK, I have a test for this, but I also have a workaround. Put a space at the beginning of the line, and you'll get @ foo.

For whatever it's worth, this was fixed here.

Fix is now on trunk.
