A user in https://scifi.stackexchange.com/a/14928/1913 discovered that he couldn't create a spoiler unordered list, and I can't seem to either.

I can blockquote an unordered list without any real issue:

  • 1
  • 2

Or the following (similar to the solution in Spoiler Markdown shows up as normal blockquote):

  • 1
  • 2

However, if I introduce a spoiler, it breaks:

!- 1 - 2

Or:

- 1 - 2

I've tried nesting blockquotes, which doesn't seem to help either. Is this a bug? If not, how in tarnation do I create a spoiler-wrapped unordered list using Markdown?

    I suspect we're not supposed to be doing that. I usually restrict myself to plain text without markup in spoilers, to avoid any problems. The spoiler syntax was a pretty late addition, it's not part of the Markdown spec as far as I know.

  • Should this be feature-request, then?

  • Possibly...Since the >! thing is a custom extension, I suspect the Markdown parser gets tripped up by what it sees as a stray !...not sure off hand what could reasonably be done about that. I'd have to check the code to see if that's the issue to begin with, though.

    For what it's worth, you can successfully use raw HTML a la <ul><li></li></ul>. It's a bit ugly though, as it introduces empty paragraph tags and is less pleasant to maintain.

May be you could do something like this.

  • Create the ordered/unordered list.
  • Then introduce the spoiler markdown on each line.
  • Then wrap the ordered list with pre tag.

Not the prettiest solution but at least a workaround.
