The following rst snipped causes some trouble. I see and appreciate the
mechanism that "complex" or rather "complex enough" list items are rendered
using paragraphs and so all list items, the problem is, that does not apply
to contained <ul> (and <ol> as well, I think) in Sphinx at least. Don't
know if that is a Sphinx or a docutils issue. I feel this as an issue,
since the rst input and the html output do not match in visual alignment.
<rst>
This renders correct:
* item 1
- subitem 1.1
- subitem 1.2
* item 2
This not:
* item 1
- subitem 1.1
- subitem 1.2
* item 2
second paragraph
</rst>
I indented and reformatted the html a bit to foster readability.
<html>
<p>This renders correct:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>
item 1
<ul>
<li>subitem 1.1</li>
<li>subitem 1.2</li>
</ul>
</li><li>
item 2
</li>
</ul>
<p>This not:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p class="first">item 1</p>
<ul class="simple">
<!-- The ul is not enclosed in a p -->
<li>subitem 1.1</li>
<li>subitem 1.2</li>
</ul>
<!-- Hence here's no space left -->
</li><li>
<p class="first">item 2</p>
<p>second paragraph</p>
</li>
</ul>
</html>
The browser output is something like:
<output>
This renders correct:
* item 1
- subitem 1.1
- subitem 1.2
* item 2
This not:
* item 1
- subitem 1.1
- subitem 1.2
* item 2
second paragraph
</output>
The space is missing in the second section between the two items of the
outer <ul>, because there's no paragraph to end, but just the plain inner
<ul>.
I use Firefox, if that matters (but it shouldn't I think).
I've been noticing this issue long time now, and hoped each release, but no
avail ... so I would like to draw some attention to the problem. I see it
as non-serious, but it's looking a bit strange in output.
This is with Sphinx 1.1.2, no special treatments.
