Tight Markdown lists contain paragraphs

[Valexr]

It's right behavior?

I agree, at least in cmark there's no p in lists.
Also shortly mentioned in an edit here: #379 (comment)

According to the observed CommonMark behaviour the following markup will not render paragraphs:

- item 1
- item 2
- item 3

while the following markup will:

- paragraph 1

- paragraph 2

- paragraph 3

This is an appropriate and logical behaviour. In the second case, you can have multiple paragraphs within a list separated by a blank line or a nested list.

Ooooh, thank you so much @viktor-yakubiv I didn't know CommonMark behaved differently in that case.

(But nuemark creates paragraphs in both cases. I don't know if it's better if it does it in both cases or not, but at least you can style all lists the same...)

[viktor-yakubiv]

at least you can style all lists the same...

It is not true. Let me provide a simple HTML+CSS example to that proves it:

<style>
li { margin-block: 0.75rem }
p { margin-block: 1rem }
</style>

<ol>
  <li>A list
  <li>with short text items
  <li>and therefore
  <li>condensed spacing
</ol>

<ol>
  <li>
    <p>A list with long items,</p>
    <ul>
      <li>sublists,
    </ul>
    <p>multiple paragraphs,</p>
  <li><p>and therefore extended spacing.</p>
</ol>

Note a few things:

• short lists with condensed spacing would be easily perceived as a single piece of information
• longer lists with multiple paragraphs or sublists require this complex structure to break down the information and increase spacing.

This is what Markdown (CommonMark) does by common sense and by specification. If you care about UX (DX in this case), I would like to paraphrase the Jakob's Law:

Users write other Markdown much more than Nue's Markdown. This means that users would prefer Nuemark work in the same way as CommonMark.

Thanks. Need to fix this for .rc.2
