Here's the simple test markup that Atwood posted. This causes a problem that infuriates me with the Perl Markdown module, which is the extra space around the "four" item. Textile does not do this. It's annoying. I need to figure how to change that Perl module. I've already customized the Perl Markdown module for my own needs by supporting some additional formatting options.

# Hello there

This is a paragraph.

1. pirate

Here's the HTML that the Perl Markdown module creates:

code.<h1>Hello there</h1>

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

<ul>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
<li><p>four</p>

<ol>
<li>pirate</li>
<li>ninja</li>
<li>zombie</li>
</ol></li>
</ul>
