Support lists (bullets and numbers) in comment markdown
I understand that comments are intended for brief queries about the post content, but in the Meta sites I sometimes find it useful to be able to quote part of a post in a comment. Block quotes already work in comment threads, so I can enter the following:
> Excerpt from an answer
Query about that specific part
and see this:
Excerpt from an answer
Query about that specific part
However, I can't use lists to give several points/queries. Entering the following:
> - Excerpt from an answer
1. Query about that specific part
gives this:
Excerpt from an answer
Query about that specific part
rather than this:
- Excerpt from an answer
- Query about that specific part
I don't see this as an essential feature (I was surprised and delighted to find that block quotes are supported in comment threads) so I've tagged this as a feature request rather than a bug.
I'm interested to know whether this was a deliberate decision to keep comments simple, or something that you'd be open to adding at some point.
