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

[Waylan L. <way...@ic...>]

Personally, I have no interest in Commonmark. However, we have built Python-Markdown in such a way that the entire parser is overridable via the Extension API <https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/api/>. I’m not aware of any existing extensions which reimplement Commonmark, but it should certainly be possible.

>> Commonmark and Markdown are not the same. At best, Commonmark is a derivative of Markdown which, by its own admission, behaviors differently than Markdown in some very specific ways. This is one of those ways. The Commonmark spec <https://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#list-items> specifically permits a list to "interrupt a paragraph” while the Markdown rules <https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list>  (which Python-Markdown follows) disallow that. According to the Markdown rules (and the reference implementation) a list must always be preceded by a blank line. This is a feature, not a bug. For example, this problem <https://stackoverflow.com/q/37464769/866026> is avoided with Markdown’s behavior.
