Re: [windup-dev] Asciidoc - lists

One of Ondra's complaints is the way lists seem to display an extra paragraph between the items. Take a look at the home page here: https://github.com/windup/windup/wiki Note that the list items are spaced far apart. I search for a solution, and the only thing I could find was mention of using |[options="compact"], |but it didn't seem to work. Ondra, what other issues did you have.
