Here’s a list I’m writing in a wiki: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/9/094cb92fbfc397591c31a32bfb207c47e7e0971c.png) If I add a **single empty line** after the first list element, it adds vertical margins on **all the elements from the list** , by wrapping every `
  • ` content by a `

    `: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/d/add9450c6605a5ffc1c76152ec3ace92c827876f.png) Before: ```xml

  • Vérifier que les mots de passe importés fonctionnent (s’ils ne fonctionnent pas, pas sûr qu’on puisse y faire grand chose)
    • ``` After: ```xml

  • Vérifier que les mots de passe importés fonctionnent (s’ils ne fonctionnent pas, pas sûr qu’on puisse y faire grand chose)

    I noticed that this is the standard behavior of [https://markdown-it.github.io/](https://markdown-it.github.io/), which Discourse uses. 🙂
