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: ```text > 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: ```text > - 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 > > 1. 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.
