DO NOT attempt to imply your own 'acceptable' list style in a way that the system cannot properly format or handle it. There are many different ways to do lists, but only a few that're actually able to be handled/parsed by SE | |

| Nov 8, 2017 at 3:13 | comment | added | muru | Yes, that's why you also do nonsensical formatting like askubuntu.com/a/932469/158442. Text alone doesn't matter, how it's presented also matters. The rest of us aren't and would like to read well-formatted posts. Maybe you should sit and read askubuntu.com/editing-help for a day or two before posting anything more. | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 3:10 | comment | added | ravery | indentation is not significant. the text is identical. | |

| Nov 8, 2017 at 3:06 | comment | added | ravery | And it doesn't display any differently because the text is shorter than one line. thus the edit is useless. | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 3:01 | comment | added | muru | As you can see, that's the formatting applied to a list. Doesn't matter what formatting you apply, Word sees it as a list internally. In Markdown, the dots create a proper HTML list, not parentheses. Then the CSS defines what formatting to apply. If you want parentheses, then create a user style and apply it on your browser instead of sticking your nonsense on the rest of us. As for paragraphs, you're one to talk. Most of your "paragraphs" have unnecessary line breaks in them. | |
