How so?

I cannot tell you how good it feels to see a reply without

That's very peculiar. I don't see them at all. You are the first person to ever mention it. I see a blank line there. Are you on your phone? This might be something that /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr might like to know about. I'd also like to know if that's what other people see. I certainly didn't mean to be leave dots around. I find it much easier to read.

Do you compose your comments in something like StackEdit? In an environment like that, I notice if I am using the "-" character as a bullet in a list and press enter, it automatically adds another "-" for me on the next line.

I see the extra "-" both on DDG (android mobile) and Pale Moon (unix desktop machine). It's possible that both of these have different markdown parsing than some of the more popular browsers out there (e.g. Chrome). Just a guess but it might explain why I see it and you don't.

I compose on SaidIt.

I recently revised the Markdown commenting guide according to what is visible in my Brave Browser.

You'll see that a dash is one of the ways to make either a bullet point, if a space or text follows it - or it can be a blank line. I've never had a bullet displayed at me where I intended a blank line. I'm very curious why you see different results.

I'm guessing that after this paragraph, instead of a blank line you'll see a bullet on your DDG (android mobile) and Pale Moon (unix) and that /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr would be interested in this. In Markdown I follow with an empty line (otherwise the following dash would "underline" this paragraph into a ##H2), then a dash with nothing following it (like a space that would make it a bullet), then another blank line (for no reason other than my habit). I'm guessing my habit empty-footer-line gets converted into a blank space somehow. (Experiment in another comment makes this theory false.)

Just to be clear, I see it on this one too.

1) Dash above, 2) then this line, 3) then a blank line, 4) then a  . Good?

Looks good on android (DDG).

Good to know. Thanks for helping debug this. It's not that big a deal, but it's curious, and maybe they can fix it.

There is a dash above this paragraph, a blank line following it, then a dash - and I do not add my habitual blank-footer-line. So do you see a dash-generated bullet?

[–]whereswhat 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Yep, I still see it.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Curious. Thanks for the info. At least we ruled that out.

Does your markdown render before you submit a comment somehow?

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Nope. But I submit it and can see the results and often edit typos, etc. The bullet is not intentional.

I believe you. Just an interesting phenomenon.
