[windup-dev] Asciidoc - lists

[Sande Gilda]

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.
