I find I can make unordered lists quite effectively
• like this
• using characters like
• U+2022 BULLET
‣ Or U+2023 TRIANGULAR BULLET
Similarly, you can do superˢᶜʳⁱᵖᵗ using Unicode as well (though I would only recommend it for numbers; Unicode doesn’t include all superscript letters, and most of the ones it does include look bad when used together). But yes, I agree that proper support for these things would be very good. (Especially code blocks!)
Yeah, I’ve done it before for superscript characters and even have used fixed width code points to force inline code. But it was cumbersome. (One time my whole comment was written in fixed width characters—I don’t remember why—and I found it a few hours later transliterated to the 0-127 range)
EDIT: Also, with native list support, you don’t get the wide line spacing. I like lists that aren’t paragraphs for each item.
