> [@mcwumbly](#): > > I haven’t been taught yet at that point that asterisks and dashes are also used to create bullets in an unordered list. The point of the exercise is to make a \* a \*, and that’s an **emphasis character** which does get used pretty regularly by normals… and to teach people _very_ early on … > if stuff gets jacked up, start escaping special characters! I dunno, you might be overthinking this a tad. I am loathe to move all talk of escaping way deep into list lesson, when normals run into escaping problems kinda frequently in Markdown. > [@mcwumbly](#): > > “We don’t want a list here. Can you fix it?” Good point, there were a few problems there: - the sentence wasn’t long enough to show text wrap - the annoying `skeleton.css` originally used to build this tutorial overrode the list styles so no list indent was being used for numbered lists - the left padding required for a 4 digit number is much bigger than we need elsewhere so I made the css specific to this exercise. I guess we could use the other common problem I see, other than “ascii asterisk footnote” which is the faux signature block.. that’s also a list. > Blah blah blah blah > > - Jeff > [@mcwumbly](#): > > but the instructions on the page before indicate that four spaces are needed… Yes, thanks, I will correct that. > [@mcwumbly](#): > > The preview doesn’t scroll with me and grabbing the bottom corner of the text input area to make that longer doesn’t make the preview longer either. So I can’t see what’s happening as I get toward the bottom without scrolling manually What device are you on? There are `@media` queries for height that set the height of the editors based on how much vertical space there is. Also I can drag the textbox just fine in Chrome? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feedback-on-our-interactive-markdown-tutorial/37290)._
