not getting expected result from python markdown -

Perhaps, this problem is with my understanding that what should be. Here's what I did:

  & gt; & Gt; & Gt; Import Markdown 2 & gt; & Gt; & Gt; Rawtext = "Getting a summary of Marktown's formatting syntax --------------------------------------- - -------- This page is a brief "& gt; & Gt; & Gt; Html = markdown2.markdown (rawtext)> gt; & Gt; & Gt; Html U "& lt; p & gt; Getting a summary of the formatting syntax of Markdown -------------------------------- ---- ------------ This page is a brief & lt; / p & gt; \ n "  
 I use Markdown instead of Markdown 2 Tried to do but got the same result; I was hoping that many "-" should be presented in the form of "H1" to get a summary of the "-" Marcton's formatting syntax, what am I missing?
