And here we hit the issues with the different versions of markdown at 
different sites.

Github markdown treats leading space differently than Gruber's markdown.

The relevant part of the source for the thing ending up with a different 
rendering looks like this (via hexdump -C). Best viewed in fixed width.

That is, there are 9 spaces before what you intend to be a bullet mark.

For what's at https://pypi.org/project/Markdown/ (implementing 
https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) anything that starts 
with 4 or more spaces or a tab is a blockquote.

Do you easily see a single input file that gets the desired output out 
of both renderers?
