The manual (section 2.8) says
"Indentation also determines the end of a list item. It ends before the next line
that is indented like the bullet/number, or less."
I think that a blank line has 0 indentation, therefore (by this logic)
it should end a list item. Clearly a blank line cannot start a list
item, so it must end a list.
I think the question is whether list items can contain blank lines.
This may be established practice, but it was not what I was expecting.
Thanks
