Text immediately preceding a list

[danxshap]

In Github I can type:

My List:
+ One
+ Two
+ Three

And it will look like:

My List:

• One
• Two
• Three

Which is:

<p>My List:</p>
<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ul>

But with py-gfm I'm getting this:

In [10]: markdown('My List:\n+ One\n+ Two\n +Three', extensions=[gfm])
Out[10]: u'<p>My List:<br />\n+ One<br />\n+ Two<br />\n +Three</p>'

The consequence is that if you want to write a line of text to precede your list, you need to remember to add a full blank line in between or else you won't have a list at all.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thank you!

It's been a while since I've touched this code, but this comment indicates that this is a difficult feature to supportin the context of the Python markdown library. I don't think it's impossible, but I'm not sure what the best way to make it work is either.
