i'm working on list tags, and in the process of that i had to research how other bbcode implementations do it. in short: i don't like it, it's too verbose:

code blockCopy[ul]
[li]one[/li]
[li]two[/li]
[li]three[/li]
[/ul]

etc.

what i'm thinking of is: in a list tag, every new line (normalized per usual rules) gets a list item:

code blockCopy[ul]
list item 1  
list item 2 (note the two spaces at the end of previous line)

list item 3
still list item 3 (prev line wasn't broken)
[/ul]

lists are in main now, with a slightly changed syntax:

code blockCopy[ul]
item 1

item 2

item 3  
still item 3 (break line without inserting a new item by using two spaces at the end of a line)
[/ul]

will produce a <ul> with 3 list items.
