Dingus does not consider it a header if it is at the begining of the
list, but it does it if it is not the first paragraph. However, for
some reason, it considers the line "* ###wtf is this?" a header.

I like to think that quote blocks and list items can contain
everything as long as it is preceeded by the right indentation.

In Dingus, the indentation of the equal signs line makes a difference.
I think this is the right behaviour, but I don't see how it could be
applied to setex-style headers.

I know it depends on the version. I am writing my own implementation
in awk and would like to be as compatible as possible with existing
documents. I think what I will do is to not look for headers at the
beginning of list items, since some files I have found contain lists
with irc channels (so, starting with #) that were becoming unwanted
h1's. It would not be a problem at all to check for different
conditions, but they are not evident to me and I'm not sure it is
worth the trouble.

Thanks for your reply,
