Description
There is an issue with MacDown where lists that immediately follow a line ending with a colon don't render properly as multi-line lists.
Hence:
```markdown
This is a sentence ending with a colon:
- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3
```
Gives:
```macdown
This is a sentence ending with a colon: - List item 1 - List item 2 - List item 3
```
The workaround is a blank line after a colon but this is time consuming when there is a lot of markdown to correct:
```markdown
This is a sentence ending with a colon:
- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3
```
Is it possible to fix this in a future release?
Thank you.
