Happens if we use asterisks for both lists and bold

!!!Two potential solutions

* [[Hyphen List Markup Proposal]]
* [[Require Space After Bullet Proposal]]

!!!Test Cases
Test if this works in your wiki. If not, your implementation has an ambiguity problem (or the creole spec has to be more clear about it!).

{{{
**bold text**\\
 ** bold text**\\
** bold text**\\

* first level
** second level **bold text** or ** with space**
*** third level
** **second level** - beginning with bold
**second level with no space (see [[Creole:Require Space After Bullet Proposal]])
** this text does not close, see what happens ** not closing
* first level
}}}

This is how it should look like 

__bold text__\\
 __ bold text__\\
__ bold text__\\

* first level
** second level __bold text__ or __ with space__
*** third level
** __second level__ - beginning with bold
**second level with no space (see [[Creole:Require Space After Bullet Proposal]])
** this text does not close, see what happens __ not closing__
* first level



Would dashes solve the problem?
{{{
**bold text**\\
 ** bold text**\\
** bold text**\\

- first level
-- second level **bold text** or ** with space**
--- third level
-- **second level** - beginning with bold
--second level with no space (see [Creole:Require Space After Bullet Proposal])
-- this text does not close, see what happens ** not closing
- first level

--This is a Signature
also this could be a --signature, after that theres a horizontal rule
----

10
-15 (this should not work, it's an edge case, you have to escape it with a space before...
= -5 (this sould not work, first level heading!

10
 -15 (this should work now)
 = -5 (this should work now)

and this should work as well
{{{
10
-15
= -5

The additional changing of the results, doesn't fulfill the needs of a documentation of the 	specs compliance. They are dated, you will see progress at the next test session.
