Thanks for the feedback, @davidmacp. Here's the current state of things.

Create an article with some rich text and save - get the following:
Exit article then select from article list again gets:

If I understand correctly, the only problem here was that the underline formatting was being lost when saving. This was actually an oversight from us, because there is no support for underline in Markdown so the button shouldn't even be there. I have removed it in #608.

With this error:

I wasn't able to replicate this. Could you provide more info on how to trigger the error?

@davidmacp Based on the message above, can you please test all the cases on develop and re-open this ticket if any of the problems persist? Thanks!

@eduardoboucas ^ the lists one - I can see the known issue as you have referenced. Does this also affect the fact that bullet (unordered) points get changed to numbered (ordered) lists after saving, exiting, then going in to edit again?

Create numbered list followed by bullet list, then Save and go back

The problem you're seeing is that contiguous lists in Markdown are merged into one. That is part of the spec. If you change your test case to include some non-list text in between the ordered and unordered lists, it should behave as expected.

If not, please reopen.
