Ignores newlines as well, so just as annoying as markdown to me.
Why are almost all of those light formatters removing your line breaks? Everytime someone mentions some markdown variant (and there are many of them!) and I look up the syntax description, it shows that newlines are being ignored.
If it's trying to be plain text, at least behave like plain text, and don't remove newlines in a shopping list like this (just like hacker news also does with its comments):
-eggs
-milk
-flour
-water
BBCode has it right.
