In bulleted list of mentioned tags, last tag is not formatted correctly as a link

One for @tgxworld … check it out - this bulleted list:

- #docker::tag
- #css::tag
- #moderation::tag

looks like this - note the last item is not formatted properly.

I also noticed that on my site a tag was created with a + in it, e.g. #m+e which is apparently possible but mentioning it is not possible.

Just wanted to add in that adding another bullet to the list makes it work. Not sure if this is helpful for your debugging @tgxworld, but it seems that the category/tag mention isn’t baked without a bullet after it. Doesn’t matter how many items are in the list, or whether it is bulleted or numbered.

Not sure if anyone else started on this but I started looking at this a few weeks back. I found the general block that is causing this and it’s a structural thing in how lists are parsed / cooked. I think I have a solution, though.

In general, the Discourse Team is not focusing on markdown related bugs because they plan to move to a new markdown engine.

Makes sense. Any links to general discussion about this? Is it commonmark? I’m kinda out of the loop.

Typically the topics get tagged #markdown-it-review (I’ll see if I can tag this accordingly)
