-### Compact and loose lists ###
-
-Pandoc behaves differently from `Markdown.pl` on some "edge
-cases" involving lists. Consider this source:
-
- + First
- + Second:
- - Fee
- - Fie
- - Foe
-
- + Third
-
-Pandoc transforms this into a "compact list" (with no `<p>` tags around
-"First", "Second", or "Third"), while Markdown puts `<p>` tags around
-"Second" and "Third" (but not "First"), because of the blank space
-around "Third". Pandoc follows a simple rule: if the text is followed by
-a blank line, it is treated as a paragraph. Since "Second" is followed
-by a list, and not a blank line, it isn't treated as a paragraph. The
-fact that the list is followed by a blank line is irrelevant. (Note:
-Pandoc works this way even when the `markdown_strict` format is specified. This
-behavior is consistent with the official Markdown syntax description,
-even though it is different from that of `Markdown.pl`.)
