This is completely unreadable in edit form and it doesn't even make sense 
to me. I would hope to see:

>     * list item 1
>       continued list item 1
>       * list item 2
>         continued list item 2
>       * list item 3
>         continued list item 3
>        still list item 3
>       continuation of list item 3
>        still list item 3
>      even more list item 3
>
>     Normal paragraph text
