Since the page is built on Jekyll, I'm guessing the article's HTML has been generated, thus explaining why paragraph tags are used.
Otherwise, one must explicitly use HTML to specify lists which is more laboriousa nd not as neat because of mixed content. In the end it works either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
- jchw 7y agoI think I get what you’re saying, but let me repeat it to make sure I understand: Jekyll, and of course Markdown, sites can use unordered lists, but you would need to specify explicit HTML for custom bullet points because there’s no obvious way to generate list elements with a specific class in Markdown. That makes sense. I initially was confused because unordered lists themselves are very easy in Markdown, and indeed will generate <ol>s.
