I have a mostly working solution [1]. There are a few weirdnesses though:

    >>> print markdown.markdown('* > bar *foo __baz__* bar\n* bar\n*
\n\t\tcode\n\n* blah')
    <ul>
      <li>
        <blockquote>
          <p>bar <em>foo <strong>baz</strong></em> bar</p>
        </blockquote>
      </li>
    <li>
        <p>bar</p>
      </li>
    <li>
        <pre><code>code
    </code></pre>
      </li>
    <li>
        <p>blah</p>
      </li>
    </ul>

Any additional <li> after the first seem to loose the level and go
back to 0. Not sure why - although the closing </li> tag seems to get
it right. There's also the weirdness to the <pre><code> tags, but this
is required because the whitespace will display in the browser
otherwise - we just have to live with it.

Here are a few other weird behaviors:

    >>> print markdown.markdown('bar *foo __baz__* bar')
    <p>bar <em>foo <strong>baz</strong></em> bar</p>

    >>> print markdown.markdown('bar *foo __baz__*')
    <p>bar <em>foo <strong>baz</strong></em>
    </p>

    >>> print markdown.markdown('*foo __baz__* bar')
    <p>
      <em>foo <strong>baz</strong></em> bar</p>

    >>> print markdown.markdown('*foo __baz__*')
    <p>
      <em>foo <strong>baz</strong></em>
    </p>

I understand why this is happening in the code, but it is weird and a
better solution isn't immediately obvious to me.

Would anyone care if we lost all indenting and only did the linebreaks?
