<summary> tag in markdown preserved by pandoc, but removed in gitit

Consider the following piece of markdown displayed through gitit:

##### I am markdown and below should be a spoiler

<details>
<summary>Summary text.</summary>
<p>Inner paragraph.</p>
</details>

Expected result

When processed with pandoc 2.10 the same markdown results in (note that <summary> tags are present):

<h5 id="i-am-markdown-and-below-should-be-a-spoiler">I am markdown and below should be a spoiler</h3>
<details>
<summary>
Summary text.
</summary>
<p>
Inner paragraph.
</p>
</details>

Which looks like (this will be correctly displayed on github, but not on gitit)

I am markdown and below should be a spoiler
Summary text.

Inner paragraph.

Actual result

On gitit, installed via stack install on checkout ae4f450, it is displayed as the following HTML
(note the lack of <summary> tags):

<h5 id="i-am-markdown-and-below-should-be-a-spoiler">I am markdown and below should be a spoiler</h3>
<details open="">

Summary text.

<p>
Inner paragraph.
</p>
</details>

Here is an example.

Further details

There seems to be no way to display a block like

Spoiler heading Spoiler content

in gitit right now. "Spoiler heading" becomes part of spoiler text and in its place the word "Details" is put, like so:

Details. Spoiler heading

Spoiler content

I have tested this with different versions of pandoc and gitit + with different browsers, the problem persists regardless. Also put up an example instance at http://209.250.240.187:5001

Is gitit supposed to serve html precisely as produced by pandoc? If so, this looks like a bug.

Probably it's getting stripped off as raw HTML. You could try setting xss-sanitize: no in the config.

Ah, simple as that, how did I miss it... That works, thank you!

To reformulate my question though, should I expect gitit to always serve htmls exactly as produced by pandoc now that xss-sanitize is set to no?
