Currently there is a potential conflict using asterisks for both bullet lists and bold.

We have listed many different [[list markup alternatives]], but there are so many there that it is difficult to discuss.  So, I have taken the liberty to narrow it down to the most likely best two choices which we can discuss more easily: asterisk (*) or hyphen (-).

=== Asterisk ===

Space required only after a second-level bullet list item

==== Advantages ====

* used by most wiki engines

==== Disadvantages ====

* conflict with bold
* difficult to read when list items start with bold text

=== Hyphen ===

==== Advantages ====

* used primarily for lists before wikis
* easier to read when list items start with bold text

==== Disadvantages ====

* not as backwards-compatible with wikis in general
