Problem with UL followed by OL

[Michel Fortin]

I fixed the exact same problem a few years ago in PHP Markdown.  
Quoting the version history:


> 1.0.1b (6 Jun 2005)

>

> [...]

>

> * Fix for an ordered list following an unordered list, and the  

> reverse.

>   There is now a loop in _DoList that does the two separately.


I've looked at your patch and I believe it fixes the problem for  
Markdown.pl adequately. But your fix does something different from  
mine, which changes the behaviour somewhere else. Try this input:

     * first
     + second
     - third

With Markdown.pl, you get one unordered list. I'm pretty sure that's  
not what you get with your fix applied. When fixing it in PHP Markdown  
I decided to diverge the least possible from the previous behaviour  
and make sure this was still working as it always has.

Since I plan on adding a test for the above and for the problem you  
mentioned in the next version of MDTest (I just realized that there's  
no test for it in MDTest), perhaps it'd be a good idea if we can agree  
on what the above should be doing.

By the way if anyone wants to take a look at my fix, I suggest you  
download PHP Markdown 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b, do a diff, and find the  
relevant changes in _DoLists and _ProcessListItems:
