Possibly a duplicate of the continuation error from micromark/micromark-extension-directive#16

I've opened this separate issue for the awareness of the folks who maintain remark.

For reference, pretty much the same team.

Closing this copy as it is an issue in a lower level dependency.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to contribute!

Because we treat issues as our backlog, we close duplicates to focus our work and not have to touch the same chunk of code for the same reason multiple times. This is also why we may mark something as duplicate that isn’t an exact duplicate but is closely related.

Thanks,
