Your friendly gay formatting fairy here: remove newlines between list items to avoid newlines after the numbers. Yes, it makes no sense. No, it's not my fault, in fact it's yours lol.

Where did the formatting that requires 2 newlines for it actually show up come from? I don't remember ever having to do it in old forums.

HTML. IIRC the standard mandates coalescing all whitespace (except maybe nbsp etc) into a single whitespace and that single newlines are considered whitespace.

That in turn probably historically originates from pre-WWW times and people writing emails using text editors that inserted line-wrapping newlines and then other people wanting to read such emails using different line wrapping length settings.

Though I want to point out that this is a tangent, the above quirk of rdrama markdown parser (not present in reddit's) is weird af precisely because it reverses this rule.

edit: I checked and this is half wrong, HTML mandates collapsing all newlines and using <br/> or <p> for maintaining paragraph separation. So yeah, @Q is right in that markdown is at least the closest source of that convention. Idk if I can re-ping @yall1024 like this lol.
