At same time I continue writing Discourse creates a list and everything is just fine, so this isn’t any issue in any means. It only wakes a bit.

But I’m just curious what is happening, because I don’t understand why character - is creating that effect.

In Markdown putting a hyphen under a text is an alternative approach to make the text a 2nd level heading. 1st level you get using =.

First level heading
===================
This is a paragraph.

Second level Heading
--------------------
This is a paragraph.

results to this:

First level heading

This is a paragraph.

Second level heading

This is a paragraph.
