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
