First, I should point out that while  "Markdown is smart enough not to
add extra (unwanted) <p> tags around HTML block-level tags" that only
applies to *known* (and valid) HTML block level tags. "@include
filename" is *not* a known HTML block-level tag - its not even HTML at
all.

I'm not sure how you implemented your inclusion stuff, but here's a
few suggestions:

If you are swapping your inclusion tag after markdown is run, then you
need to match your inclusion tag wrapped inside a paragraph. Match
this: `<p>@include filename</p>`.

If you are swapping your inclusion tag before markdown is run, then we
need to see what was swapped in to be of any help.

If you have modified markdown (or used PHP Markdown's undocumented
extension support), make sure your addition is running before raw HTML
is handled by the parser.
