So it seems I wrote that code so long ago that I misremembered. You are right, I has indeed added some special handling in Bodhi 1 to have lists work even without an empty line before them: https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/blob/bodhi1-develop/bodhi/templat es/show.kid#L47-L48 > This is a change in Bodhi 2 (and IMHO, for the worse, though if > there's some official Markdown spec that says it should be that way, > meh…). Markdown is extremely under-specified, so a lot is left up to implementations. In the case of lists, I can find no mention at all of surrounding text in the "spec", it only talks about lists in complete isolation to other elements, as far as I can see: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list Which means that very often, Markdown implementations just do "whatever the original implementation does", bugs and all. And sure enough, if you try using the online demo: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus You'll find it behaves the same way Bodhi 2 does. CommonMark is trying to improve this situation with a complete specification, but it isn't what we use in Bodhi 2 (yet?) If you really feel strongly about that empty newline, open a bug report asking for it. I guess we could just reuse the one-liner I had for Bodhi 1, or completely move to CommonMark, as it seems to allow what you want: http://spec.commonmark.org/0.21/#example-246 In any case, please open bug reports for anything you want in Bodhi 2, to make sure your feedback isn't lost in the archives of the mailing -list. -- Mathieu -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
