 # Number one
 # Number two
 ** Bullet
 ** Another bullet
 # Number three, uh?

1. Number one
2. Number two

• Bullet
• Another bullet

1. Number three, uh?

But this works:

 # Number one
 # Number two
 ## Number two.one
 ## Number two.two
 # Number three

1. Number one
2. Number two
   1. Number two.one
   2. Number two.two
3. Number three

I took a look into the code and have done it myself, hoping this have no unwanted side effect.

This is the side effect:

This

# bullet1
# bullet2
# bullet3
* number1
* number2
* number3

has to be written as

# bullet1
# bullet2
# bullet3

* number1
* number2
* number3

---

Another side effect, This:

#Number1
**bullet
**bullet

#Number2
**bullet
**bullet

#Number3
**bullet
**bullet

has to be written:

#Number1
**bullet
**bullet
#Number2
**bullet
**bullet
#Number3
**bullet
**bullet

or you get this:

1. Number1

• bullet
• bullet

1. Number2
• bullet
• bullet

1. Number3
• bullet
• bullet

In my experimental (and still half-finished) rewritten parser I allow for the following syntax :

# Number one
# Number two
#* Bullet
#* Another bullet
# Number three

Which I personally feel is more logical as it clearly denotes the bullet list as being part of the number list.

I will be releasing my parser into WikiPatches when I finally finish it!
