[textile] Textile problem colon and lists

My wife is using textile and often uses the following pattern

Example:
* item 1
* item 2

Unfortunately this produces invalid XHTML

<p>Example:
<ul>item 1</ul>
<ul>item 2</ul>
</p>

It instead should be

<p>Example:</p>
<ul>item 1</ul>
<ul>item 2</ul>

Update I tried this on textism.org and it produces the proper XHTML, however in textpattern 4.2.0 it produces the bad results.

Re: [textile] Textile problem colon and lists

Remember to place an empty line between the list and paragraph. Otherwise the non-block list element is placed inside the open block element (which in this case the paragraph).

Paragraph.

* List item
* List item

Textism uses over five years old Textile version. Because it is so old, it doesn’t support long blocks (p.., bc.. etc), nor blocks inside blocks. That is why it renders the example correctly.
