Question about listing items

[xihajun]

it looks like if I have the following format

some texts
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3

The generated html would show all of those into one line?

some texts

- item 1
- item 2
- item 3

Only if I have a line break in between it would work?

I wonder if there is a way to make it work without line break like markdown:

some texts

• item 1
• item 2
• item 3

Hello @xihajun,
you could add 2 empty spaces at the end of some texts or maybe try the nl2br extension, but I never tried it, so perhaps it's not what you want or it might lead to bad side effects. Also the Python-Markdown syntax isn't fully compatible with the processor used in GitHub.

markdown_extensions:
  - nl2br

Thank you @kamilkrzyskow :) Let me have a try!

IIRC, Python Markdown requires a newline before and after lists.
