Possible bug in rendering markdown lists

Evan hamrick

I'm seeing that markdown (which renders just fine in Pycharm mind you) of this form:

label
* thing 1
* thing 2

is rendered with the asterisks being interpreted as italics formatting commands.

However, when I do this:

label

* thing 1
* thing 2

The list appears correctly.

The markdown spec says "In CommonMark, a list can interrupt a paragraph. That is, no blank line is needed to separate a paragraph from a following list"

Happy to file a bug on this if someone could confirm I'm reading the spec correctly.

Hello @Evan hamrick

You're right about CommonMark spec and this rule, however unfortunately Bitbucket doesn't yet use CommonMark to render markdown. Right now Python-Markdown is used, here's an overview.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Daniil

Thanks Daniil, I thought I saw a note somewhere that BB was using CommonMark but perhaps I'm getting my Atlassian products mixed up.

No worries

It was probably about Bitbucket Server – it uses CommonMark. Hopefully one day Bitbucket Cloud will migrate rendering to use it too.
