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 bullet followed immediately by bold text.
Advantages #
- used by most wiki engines
Disadvantages #
- conflict with bold
- difficult to read when list items start with bold text
Hyphen #
This was proposed unanimously at the WikiSym workshop with only Christoph Sauer and Chuck Smith opposing it, due to making asterisks backwards-compatible with current wiki syntaxes. However, they have both agreed that they believe this was a mistake due to the asterisks conflict and want to use 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
