Description Robert Krátký 2016-03-29 09:25:42 UTC
Both ordered and unordered lists are rendered as a single paragraph, and the bullets/numbers disappear. Like this:

source:

* item
* item
* item

1. item
2. item
3. item

renders as:

item item item

item item item

-----------

It's a regression -- it used to work as expected.

Markdown is restricted to code blocks and links in comments due to a XSS scripting issue. More information can be seen here https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/CPDRUPAL-481

Comment 2 Robert Krátký 2016-03-29 17:31:14 UTC
It seems to me that the problem only affects img tags. Not lists. Having the possibility to format lists in comments is very useful.

Comment 3 Robert Krátký 2016-05-27 12:03:03 UTC
I've now noticed that not even such simple stuff as emphasis using asterisks works. This degrades user experience substantially. There's hardly any discussion forum out there that wouldn't support at least basic formatting.

The Customer Portal won't be able to stay very competitive if it's comments are left back in the 90's.

Oops, apologies for double posting. A connection issue, I guess.

Thanks for the info Robert.  I'm transitioning this request to Jira. We will look at "loosening" the restriction and what our options are. Follow along at https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/CPDRUPAL-1507
