because it's 2016 and having - a - b - b1 - b2 - c instead of the verbose $(UL $(LI a) $(LI $(UL $(LI b1) $(LI b2) )) $(LI c) ) just messes up the source code. As soon as you start to use more macros the second example get's less readable and maintainable At the very least we should support the markdown syntax for lists. https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list

I prefer * instead of -.
