I am trying to get a round-trip markup->html->markup and am having a
strange issue with bulleted lists.

This markup:

* LEVEL 1
*** LEVEL 3

(note the movement from a single * to 3 *s without an intermediate 2
*s) results in this HTML:

<ul><li>LEVEL 1
<dl><dd><ul><li>LEVEL 3
</li></ul></dd></dl></li></ul>

when I expected this HTML:

<ul><li>LEVEL 1
<ul><ul><li>LEVEL 3
</li></ul></ul></li></ul>

Is this intentional?  Or is it a bug?

-Peter

It's intentional.  The second line of what you expected is not valid
HTML or XHTML -- a <ul> block is only allowed to contain <li> elements.
(The "<ul><ul>" sequence is is invalid.)  Fixing things to use <ul>
would therefore result in an extra layer of bullets in the output,
or we have to do weird things with style= or class= attributes to
avoid them.

The "***" markup simply means "unordered list at third level", it
doesn't mean that the lists at the first and second levels must
also be unordered lists.
