The problem I see with this is knowing the author's intent. Should this be
rendered as:
* primary item
* secondary item
- sub secondary item
same level as secondary (continuation of the text
actually)
* tertiary item
or:
* primary item
* secondary item
- sub secondary item same level as secondary
(continuation of the text actually)
* tertiary item
I can see uses for both. The first is for convenient editing, the second is
to have a paragraph below the bullet item but with the same indent.
