Body preview of writing a question can appear differently than when posted...
There was some strange behavior when I typed in my last post. I noticed that there is different behavior when you type something inside a preview of a body versus when you make a post (or save the changes).

Here's an example: * Bullet points after returning a single line when typing like this shows up normally in preview (see picture below)... but right now it might look like it's currently inline with the previous line.

So as you can see, there's some different behavior from what the preview shows and what the actual post shows.

This happens because the preview is being rendered client-side by a JavaScript library, while the actual post is being rendered server-side using a Rails library. I've been told it's not feasible to use the exact same library in both places, but finding a way to resolve these differences (so they behave the same way even though they're different code) is on the to-do list.
