Markdown Formatter incorrectly parses lists
0%
Description
Originally I wanted to raise a bug about the markdown formatter wrongly interpreting a list sub item as code, because it ignored the double identation instead of single identation for code in lists.
But while building a proper example to reproduce the behavior easily I found that the whole list parsing (for both ordered and unordered lists) is borked.
While I would like to be able to provide exact directions to what exactly is wrong here, the more I played around with this, the more confused I got.
What I can tell for almost certain is that blank lines are at the core of this issue. Normally items should be wrapped in <p> tags when seperated by blank lines, but here (at least for unordered list items in ordered list items) instead the current ordered list is interpreted as ended and a new ordered list started.
I used the official syntax from https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list as reference, which describes behavior conflicting with what Redmine produces currently.
Example Markup
1. this is a list item with two child items. - first child - second child wrongly interpreted as code 1. another item in the same list. - text wrongly interpreted as ordered list item 1. last item of the ordered list
Expected Output (taken form Marxico)
Output from Redmine's inbuilt Markup Parser
