| The use of asterisk "*" can introduce conflicts with bold markup. |

| The use of hyphen "-" introduces conflicts with various casual uses of hyphens, dashes, minus sign and horizontal line. |

|
| ==== Asterisk ==== |
| The use of asterisk "*" can introduce conflicts with bold markup in certain combinations of these features. In particular, when "Repeated bullet" is used for marking nesting, there is a need a additional disambiguation, either in form of a space at either side or and escape character. |
|
| ==== Hyphen ==== |
| The use of hyphen "-" introduces conflicts with various casual uses of hyphens, dashes, minus sign and horizontal line. In particular, while the horizontal line conflict appears always, and additional rules are needed to disambiguate them, the hyphen conflict only appears when the user puts the hyphen(s) at the beginning of the line; unfortunately, just adding spaces is not enough for disambiguation in this case. |

| Requiring the space //only// when there is an ambiguity is a loosening of this rule that gives up visual clarity on behalf of "user freedom". The ambiguity with second-level lists and bold remains, unless it is accounted for in a different way. |

| Requiring the space //only// when there is an ambiguity is a loosening of this rule that gives up visual clarity on behalf of "user freedom". The ambiguity with second-level lists and bold remains, unless it is accounted for in a different way. Visual clarify disappears, as [[Bullet List On Wikipedia Research]] shows that users will not create clear markup if they don't have to. |
