Bold And Lists Ambiguity

Happens if we use asterisks for both lists and bold

Two potential solutions#

• Hyphen List Markup Proposal
• Require Space After Bullet Proposal

Test Cases#

**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 No InterWiki reference defined in properties for Wiki called "Creole"!)
  • 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
}}}
