It's broken by <li>.</li> tag in the first message.

Per SergeyBiryukov, it was broken by the <li>.</li>.

Basically, the OP wrote <li>. to end the sentence. We then force-balanced the tags. It didn't go over to well.

I surrounded the <li> in backticks and we were good.

I've seen this on the forums a few dozen times. I'm thinking we should just remove ul/ol/li as allowed tags there.

I often use the lists myself to provide structured replies on Russian forums. Perhaps we can remove force-balancing for <li>?

Replace li with • maybe?

I did that in the comments of my site sicne people were forever being dim about closing tags. We can't all be HTML savvy ;)

[SergeyBiryukov]

It's not only the list item marker but also the proper indentation that I care about :)

I've rechecked and found out that the problem was not with the closing tag, it's that <li> was outside of <ul> or <ol>.
