Either the list is tight (no spaces) or loose (always spaces). Mixing the two within the same list will result in strangeness. You should try in Babelmark to see what I mean http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/ Or for more http://talk.commonmark.org/t/maintaining-sanity-in-lists-with-different-kinds-of-spacing/476/4?u=codinghorror ------------------------- cpradio | 2015-04-25 10:52:43 UTC | #3 So it seems common mark is the only one that I feel gets this correct ``` * List 1, Item 1 * List 1, Item 2 * List 1, Item 3 - List 2, Item 1 - List 2, Item 2 - List 2, Item 3 ``` Common Mark/Cheapskates output: Output in Discourse * List 1, Item 1 * List 1, Item 2 * List 1, Item 3 - List 2, Item 1 - List 2, Item 2 - List 2, Item 3 I haven't found a way to permit the following in any of the implementations yet: ``` * List 1, Item 1 * List 1, Item 2 * List 1, Item 3 * List 2, Item 1 * List 2, Item 2 * List 2, Item 3 ``` ------------------------- Mittineague | 2015-04-25 13:27:55 UTC | #4 Hacky, but inserting an HTML br tag seems to work ``` * List 1, Item 1 * List 1, Item 2 * List 1, Item 3
- List 2, Item 1 - List 2, Item 2 - List 2, Item 3 ``` * List 1, Item 1 * List 1, Item 2 * List 1, Item 3
- List 2, Item 1 - List 2, Item 2 - List 2, Item 3 ------------------------- elberet | 2015-04-25 13:57:02 UTC | #5 Except that you really only get a single `

This works better, but is far from being a perfect work-around. i.e. horizontal rule ``` * item A1 * item A2 * item A3 ----- - item B1 - item B2 - item B3 ``` * item A1 * item A2 * item A3 ----- - item B1 - item B2 - item B3 ------------------------- JP_ | 2015-04-26 20:24:42 UTC | #8 [quote="codinghorror, post:2, topic:27912"] You should try in Babelmark to see what I mean [/quote] I'm not sure which one Discourse uses, but "pandoc" and a few others seem to get it right. http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/?text=+-+waefwefawe%0A+-+rtehergsergser%0A%0A+-+fawefawegaew%0A+-+greagwergawe%0A+-+egawegaewgew ------------------------- system | 2018-09-29 01:03:39 UTC | #9 ------------------------- sam | 2018-09-29 02:15:37 UTC | #10 This is totally resolved with markdown.it which we introduced a year or so ago ------------------------- sam | 2018-09-29 02:15:40 UTC | #11 -------------------------
