[...] For an item to contain block-level content
I assume this rule applies only to *list* items? Given that e.g.
block quoted text does not show the problem I demonstrated.
Indeed, it applies solely to list items (and somewhat similarly to
definition list items in PHP Markdown Extra).
it must be separated by a blank line from the previous or the next
item (it must not be the sole item in the list), or it must
contain one or more blank line.
Okay, so the following should not start block quoting (which it does):
* bla bla
> bla bla
Is the rule defined somewhere? and if so, what is the rationale?
Good question. This has not been documented if I'm correct. It is
only *defined* in Markdown's code that no blank line means span-level
content... which means that the rationale could very well be that it
never got taken care of.
I find the need for additional lines around list items irritating
because then that list item will get wrapped in `<p>…</p>` making
it visually stand out. A common problem when working with nested
block level constructs (including just nested lists.)
Usually, when I write lists, all of my items have either span-level
content (+ sublists) or block-level content, not a mix of items in
the two modes.
I think I'm simply failing to see the problem you have to solve.
Could I ask for a concrete example of what you want?
Also, I take it that a list item not wrapped in `<p>…</p>` or
containing block level constructs is itself not considered a block
level thing, seeing how nested lists defy your rule.
Yes, nested lists *are* an exception. If you want the exact reason it
was made like that, only John can give a definitive answer, but I'd
suggest that it's because sublists are something useful and pretty
commonly used that way in HTML.
