It should be possible to use nested lists without any new blank line before

[Vrakfall]

I think we should be able to use nested lists without inserting a new blank line in between as shown by the following example:

• Something level 1
  • Something level 2
  • Something else level 2
• Something else level 1
• Final level 1 item

- Something level 1
  - Something level 2
  - Something else level 2
- Something else level 1
- Final level 1 item

Currently, this style guide forces the insertion of a new line before each level of the list (at least while using the tidy-markdown atom package and generates this which, obviously, doesn't have the same result:

• Something level 1
  • Something level 2
  • Something else level 2
• Something else level 1
• Final level 1 item

- Something level 1

  - Something level 2
  - Something else level 2

- Something else level 1
- Final level 1 item

I agree, I'm not a fan of how this functions either. I too am using the atom package in conjunction with the default markdown preview.

(Using code so github doesn't convert the markdown)
I find that the current output of the following is ugly. I find it ugly because it implies a connection between Sub-item L2 and Another Item L1 which (in my cases) there is not.

* Item L1

  * Sub-item L2
* Another Item L1

  * Another Item's sub item L2

And would personally find either of the following more pleasing. This is because I think Sub-item L2 should be connected visually to Item L1 instead.

Compressed

* Item L1
  * Sub-item L2
* Another Item L1
  * Another Item's sub item L2

Space before next top-level item

* Item L1
  * Sub-item L2

* Another Item L1
  * Another Item's sub item L2

The last one seems even more readable to me, nice idea!

Sorry for the delay, even ents don't speak that slowly. :P
