Description

Check that it really is a list item

True markdown requires lists to be separated by blank lines. But we were happy to create a list without the blank line. This caused a problem in some situations. — like this one ** or this one? But we also have to cater for bold markdown with two stars and bold markdown with underscores while making sure

• we cater for normal lists
• with stars or underscores

$line starts	$last_line_len	It’s a list?
–	n/a	true
*	n/a	true
`–`	0	true
`–`	>0	$list
`**`	0	true
`**`	>0	$list

Usage

$bool = oikai_check_its_a_list( $list, $line, $last_line_len );

Parameters

$list

( integer ) required – current list nesting level

$line

( string ) required –

$last_line_len

( integer ) required –

Returns

bool true if we think it's a list
