  Description: I am experiencing an issue where Simplenote’s Edit mode is acting like a partial live Markdown preview. The editor successfully renders almost all Markdown elements on the fly, but completely ignores lists and blockquotes.

  Specifically, the following elements successfully render live right inside the editor:

  • Headings (#, ##, etc.)
  • Bold and Italic text (text, text)
  • Strikethrough (~~text~~)

  However, the following elements do not render at all and remain as raw text:

  • Unordered lists (- or *)
  • Ordered lists (1., 2.)
  • Blockquotes (>)
