Ticket Information

Ticket Title

If I have a nested bullet list, the inner list items are sometimes placed within paragraphs (which is what I would want), and sometimes not. Here's a test case:

*   BUG: following two nested bullet points do not have their text
	    inside &lt;p&gt; tags:
	    
	    *   Nested bullet point.
	    *   Second nested bullet point.
	
	*   NOTE: but it works correctly if there is a blank line between  
	    the bullet points:
	    
	    *   Nested bullet point.
	    
	    *   Second nested bullet point.
	
	*   BUG: The error also manifests if there is only a single nested
	    bullet point:
	
	    *   Nested bullet point.

I would expect either all of the nested bullet items or none of them to use &lt;p&gt; inside the &lt;li&gt;. Instead, only the second lists's nested bullet points are in paragraphs. This is the generated HTML I get:

<ul>
	<li>
	BUG: following two nested bullet points do not have their text
	 inside &lt;p&gt; tags:
	<ul>
	
	<li>Nested bullet point.</li>
	<li>Second nested bullet point.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	NOTE: but it works correctly if there is a blank line between 
	 the bullet points:
	<ul>
	<li>
	Nested bullet point.
	</li>
	
	<li>
	Second nested bullet point.
	</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	BUG: The error also manifests if there is only a single nested
	 bullet point:
	<ul>
	<li>Nested bullet point.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	</ul>

(I am using Python 2.6 and Markdown-2.0.1-py2.6.egg.)

Sorry but this is *not* a bug. This is [documented][] behavior. Go ahead and test your sample text against various other implementations with [babelmark][].
