[TxMt] Re: Markdown bundle bug: hyphen unusable in lists

The Markdown bundle:

• Correctly highlights hyphen-delimited bullet lists, and
• Correctly translates hyphen-delimited bullet lists to HTML, but
• Does not allow the writing of such lists! Instead, hyphen-tab

creates a horizontal line.

But, looking at your list above, wouldn’t you create the list with hypen-space?

A suggested fix is:

• Force users to type two hyphens for the horizontal-line auto-

completion

I think doing lists with hyphen-tab (as opposed to hyphen-space) is rare unlike putting horizontal lines below headings (that is one of the ways you make h2 headings in Markdown) so unless others feel strongly about this, I’d prefer to keep the current default behavior.

You can always change it locally if it is clashing with your preferred way of entering lists.
