That’s the problem, isn’t it: whose convention? It never works in the way I conventionally do ot, and takes way too much troubleshooting to make it work. I also have no idea how to do formatting other than lists so would have to look it up. There’s a reason most posts on Lemmy are unformatted, it’s too much effort to get it to work.
Before you say that’s a me problem: the list conventions I write with work fine everywhere else. Plus I haven’t had to look up formatting syntax since LaTEX
I don’t think writing lists & punctuation in the conventional way is expecting too much. No spaces after periods? Crazy.

Standard convention taught in every school and observed in every print we read?
I’ve never seen a convention in English where a space doesn’t separate a period and whatever follows: no instance considered correct where
See how jarring that looks? Obscene.
Though if you’ve seen a practice like that in active production out in the field, then I’d welcome to see it. That’d be new.

Yet lists can be special
markup is way over sensitive
So even if I use period then space as a delimiter
Maybe I spaced it out
Which works everywhere else
