Current behavior

MarkdownBlock returns only sanitized text from the orignial markdown or .net default behaivour on calling ToString().

Expected behavior

MarkdownBlock should have a property similar to
public String OrignalMarkdown { get; }
which returns the original markdown passed to ParagraphBlock.Parse.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Parse a markdown document and call .ToString() on any MarkdownBlock.

MarkdownDocument markdownDocument = new MarkdownDocument();
markdownDocument.Parse("## I'm a Header\r\nI'm a simple Text");

foreach(var item in markdownDocument.Blocks)
{
    //returns only sanitzed text
    Debug.WriteLine(item.ToString());
}
