Markdown bug H1

When I publish a post in markdown, and add # to the title, it shows up with the # in the title, instead of recognizing that this is just there to highlight the fact that the first sentence is the title. This is really annoying when publishing new content, because I run a script to double check for the correct markdown formatting, and it always adds the # for the H1, which I then have to delete again. Is there a reason for this? Or can you please simply make the adjustment for quotion to recognize this as being the title and ignore the #? Thanks
