I viewed the "rendered" source fed to the browser, and (when comparing the markdown lists versus the html lists) the one difference is the <p> tag. My markdown lists are getting rendered with a <p> tag. My html lists are not. Here is the pertinent portion of the rendered code:
<div class="articletext">
<h2>Unordered List Test</h2>
<h4>We will use both markdown and regular HTML tags in the following two unordered lists.</h4>
<p>The following list uses markdown to create the list items:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Markdwon with asterisk. </p></li>
<li><p>Markdwon with asterisk. </p></li>
<li><p>Markdwon with asterisk. </p></li>
<li><p>Markdwon with asterisk. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>The following list uses html tags to create the list items:</p>
<ul>
<li>HTML with ul. </li>
<li>HTML with ul. </li>
<li>HTML with ul. </li>
<li>HTML with ul. </li>
</ul>
<h2>Ordered List Test</h2>
<h4>We will use both markdown and regular HTML tags in the following two ordered lists.</h4>
<p>The following list uses markdown to create the list items:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Markdwon with numbers. </p></li>
<li><p>Markdwon with numbers. </p></li>
<li><p>Markdwon with numbers. </p></li>
<li><p>Markdwon with numbers. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>The following list uses html tags to create the list items:</p>
<ol>
<li>HTML with ol. </li>
<li>HTML with ol. </li>
<li>HTML with ol. </li>
<li>HTML with ol. </li>
</ol>
</div>
I am currently searching my CSS file for what style settings would cause list bullets and list numbers (and font too) to be rendered differently when in a list PLUS in a <p> tag, versus not in a <p> tag. So far I am stumped. Somehow I am missing it.
Below is a copy of my current CSS file contents:
