Bullets not Working with Markdown?

In a recently released site we were able to help content editors see the evils of WYSIWYG and the benefits of Markdown. Yeah! This was a big win.

Today I had a staff member who was create a new page in the Drupal implementation and could not get the bullet syntax of Markdown to render real bullets in the content body. Scratched my head a few times and created a test page.

Sure enough, I could not get them to render. Puzzled, I headed over to Google and found a post on g.d.o. Thanks to a post by Moshe, I found the solution.

Lesson: Always include a blank line before you start a list in Markdown.
