What's needed is a way to distinguish your edge case from the general case where it would be a list. Do you use two white spaces to preserve the line breaks? Perhaps that could be the trigger in this case - a line ending in two white spaces prevents the next line from being formatted as a new list.

I don't think that's a good idea. Two spaces at the end of a line means a line break, not an end of the current paragraph.

I just tested this edge case in PHP Markdown Extra and it does the same thing (both with and without the two white spaces for newlines).

Indeed. I'm not sure what could be done here however, but here is an idea.

John changed things a long time ago now so that it doesn't pose a problem for text at the root of the document by forcing a blank line to be present before a list when not inside a list. I'm thinking that we could do the same for the content of list item parsed as block- level content. For instance, here you would have a nested ordered list:

    *   Blah blah blah
        1. blah blah
    *   Blah blah blah

Here too:

    *   Blah blah blah

        1. blah blah

    *   Blah blah blah

But not in the next examples. Here the "1." list marker wouldn't be accepted because we're in a block-level list element (since there is a blank line between the two items):


    *   Blah blah blah
        1. blah blah

    *   Blah blah blah

Same here, because there is a blank line inside the list item:

    *   Blah blah blah

        Blah blah blah
        1. blah blah
    *   Blah blah blah

Perhaps that's a too subtle distinction, but it's my preferred solution to date.
