Have multiline tags not terminate the list item until the tag is terminated - Wikitext-l

16 Mar 2014

Lists in wikitext are a pain. Proof: number of duplicates of 
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/1581>.
Aryeh Gregor proposed in 2007 an amendment that would IMHO solve many 
problems and find no opposers in principle, "Have multiline tags not 
terminate the list item until the tag is terminated":

Does someone disagree? How hard is it to implement? (Probably rather or 
very hard, but who knows.)

For more general context of how I was brought to this problem, and to 
discuss alternative solutions  for my specific issue, please refer to

instead.
