1 2 3 vs. a b foo c 123 is rendered as 3 individual lists, abc as 2 lists. (Although this might also be a Markdown “feature”, please close if this is the case)

You are right, this is really an eample in the spec: CommonMark Spec What a …strange… thing. The only solution for my problem seems to be this: - foo - bar - baz foo bar baz

123 is rendered as one unordered list, just with spacing. ab and c are two lists, as you added a non-list element. Here’s your markdown: - 1 - 2 - 3 vs. - a - b foo - c Note the raw HTML: 1 2 3 vs. a b foo c So everything appears to be working as I’d expect. What did you expect to happen?

To 1 and 2 not having any spacing, optionally also for 3 to be in its own list. Basically: 1 2 3

Some lists are not rendered as expected

That’s not how Commonmark works. You need something between the lists, not just a blank line.
