  Oh huh

  Is there any way to keep some spacing?

  Like this

  - A
    - sub 1
    - sub 2
  
  - B
  

  Same thing happens if I have sentences with bullet points:

  ---

  Here is some information

  • detail 1
  • detail 2

  Here is the next bit of information

  • detail 1
  • detail 2

    it doesn’t appear to be easy to do either of those, from some quick testing. Looks like the <p> tags have bottom spacing which is causing the issue, mainly, at least in lemmy’s case. weird.</p>

      will add an empty row, if that’s whats you meant. That’s what I currently use.

    So in your example:

    ---

    Here is some information

    • detail 1
    • detail 2  

       

    Here is the next bit of information

    ---

    … will turn into:

    Here is some information

    • detail 1
    • detail 2

     

    Here is the next bit of information

      That will work, thank you!
