Markdown recognizes list tags only when immediatly preceeded by header tag

[martinklein]

Link: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/how-to-use-python-markdown-to-convert-markdown-to-html/

When I load this into markup:

Below a markdown list should be created:
* point 1
* point 2
1. point 1
2. point 2

markdown returns this:

<p>Below a markdown list should be created:
* point 1
* point 2
1. point 1
2. point 2</p>

So it does not created the html list tags.
But when I load this into markdown:

## Below a markdown list should be created:
* point 1
* point 2
## and again
1. point 1
2. point 2

it correctly creates the html list tags:

<h2>Below a markdown list should be created:</h2>
<ul>
<li>point 1</li>
<li>point 2</li>
</ul>
<h2>and again</h2>
<ol>
<li>point 1</li>
<li>point 2</li>
</ol>

Many thanks for your help.

Thank you for the trying the ordered and unordered list.
If you would like to have a mix of both ordered and unordered list you may have to nest it.

Rajakavitah, the problem also exists if I only have an unordered list like this: Below a markdown list should be created: * point 1 * point 2 Markdown returns this where no html list tags are created: <p>Below a markdown list should be created: * point 1 * point 2</p> When I add a header tag immediately before the list tag like here: ## Below a markdown list should be created: * point 1 * point 2 Markdown correctly returns this: <h2>Below a markdown list should be created:</h2> <ul> <li>point 1</li> <li>point 2</li> </ul> Thanks and kind regards Martin Klein Am Mo., 21.
