[Python-markdown-discuss] Text before unordered list breaks unless there's a double line.

[Humberto A. P. <hum...@pa...>]

Hello

Thanks for the library, its super useful: just upgraded from CommonMark for python.

Background: I'm used to have some text before labels. This usually works on Github and other places:

########

Some text before list
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3

########

This doesn't seem to work with python-markdown. I only get it to work if I provide

########
Some text before list

* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
########

I tried to fix this with the nl2br extension, via html_en = markdown.markdown(request.form['text_en'], extensions=['nl2br','tables']). 

But I had no luck.

Questions:
1. Am I using the extensions wrong?
1. Is there a way to make python-markdown work the way I described?

Thanks!
