Fixes #1135
Fixes #1138

See changes made in 3712523 for context.

This change can affect if ol is used inside a li as the first element and the li element is inside another ol element.

I could not find any published RFCs with XML that match the above condition.

These are the RFCs that I found that use ol as the first element in li:

  • RFC8679
  • RFC8687

I didn't notice any changes in text output due to this change. But there are a few minor changes (with spacing) due to changes over the years.

I think it's worth trying to change things such that generatiing

   4.  4.1  Sublist with '%p' parent counter element in the list
            counter, item one

       4.2  Item two.

       4.3  Item three.

we generate

   4. 

       4.1  Sublist with '%p' parent counter element in the list
            counter, item one

       4.2  Item two.

       4.3  Item three.

Unless that breaks the intended fix for the rfc-to-be.

What is better about that superfluous empty line?

(You can probably have one if you want with <br>)

Look at it in context with the rest of the nested <ol> above it in the test document:

I have converted PR to a draft.
The changes from e889f93 add a new line when with the list style to both ol and ul.
This was skipped previously.
Specifically, this adds list style + new line when li contains an artwork, figure, or sourcecode as the first child.
See how this changed test outputs in ca8286a
Note that the test output has date changes and multiple content changes propagated because of the addition of new lines.

e889f93 fixes #1138

And now this is perhaps unfortunate. What we've uncovered is, I think, a decision to special case the rendering of nested lists without leading text that doesn't generalize to all possible uses of such things, and we're just toggling cross the edges of that earlier decision.

Has the previous side-effect of no leading marker been used in this case previously? Is it ok to make this change (since getting the behavior of that side-effect is possible in better defined ways, I _think)?

@cabo - what do you think the right thing to do with this is?

Here's a list of RFCs that has ul tag inside a li as first element:

rfc8668.xml
rfc8742.xml
rfc8811.xml
rfc8793.xml
rfc8927.xml
rfc8677.xml
rfc8667.xml
rfc8698.xml
rfc9195.xml

All these use empty="true" in parent ul, so no new * gets added but there's a bug in the suggested fix because it adds a new line. I'll fix that.

I don't think it is ever correct to add a new line that the author didn't want.
If it is needed, the author can put it in, but it never should be forced on them.

I have pushed a fix to handle empty="true".

@rjsparks & @cabo For context, HTML output doesn't add a new line.
Proposed changes don't affect HTML output.

And HTML has the marker, so the text should too - that convinces me that (except for the newline that Carsten doesn't want) the current proposed change is right.

So people looking at this later can see it in context, could you also paste the section of html analogous to the 4. 4.1 change in the text in this thread?

@rjsparks The above screenshot is from Firefox and that might not be showing the correct rending. See #1158
