RedCloth 4.0 - paragraphs inside list items

Ruby Apps Redcloth

Hello,

In the previous 3.0.4 version, I was able to create multiple
paragraphs inside a list item by indenting the secondary paragraphs
by two spaces like this:

  • First para.

    Second para.

    Third para.

In the new 4.0 version, only the first paragraph is put inside the
list item. I am forced to write HTML (yuck!) as a work-around:

  • First para.


    Second para.


    Third para.

Is there a directive like the backslash () in Ruby which tells the
parser to treat the next line of input as continuation of the
current line?

  • First para.

    Second para.

    Third para.

Thanks for your consideration.
