Nice one Doug - this is a cool guide.
The problems arise when you are doing complex lists where you want a number of items inside each list item, e.g.
<ul>
<li>
<p>Paragraph</p>
<syntaxHighlight lang="html5">Code block
code block line 2</syntaxHighlight>
<p>Another paragraph</p>
</li>
<li>
…
</li>
</p>
This kind of thing is really messy and horrible to try to do in Wiki markup, comes out looking terrible.
