The only issue I had was that I wasn't able to render upside-down compounds. If I put the _ before the first piece only the second piece is still right-side up. If I put the _ before both, it gives me nothing. (So I made the upside-down cardinal and chancellor the old-fashioned way.)

I guess I didn't really bother to implment that, on the assumption that rotated pieces would only be used as the conventional way to indicate fairy pieces (e.g. when typesetting diagrams) with the 6 orthodox symbols (e.g. inverted Queen = Grasshopper, inverted Knight = Nightrider...). If you have compounds, there doesn't seem to be any reason to use rotated symbols.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra.
