I think CodiMD is rendering incorrectly, because markdown intentionally ignores single newlines: if CodiMD wants a line break, it should insert *two* newlines (a paragraph break) or two spaces at the end of a line (line break) to get that effect. I would avoid the issue entirely by using bullets to delineate elements.

According to this:  https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/

Two blank lines creates a paragraph.   Two spaces creates a line break.   As it says, hard to see in a editor.

Also, there doesn’t seem to be a to create bullet lists without a symbol before the text.   I will turn everthing into paragraphs.

p.s. Now I know more about markdown than I wanted to know.

The real question is that how partial deployment will impact. Bob Hinden: We expect there will be mixed implementations for a while. Gorry do you want to say more?

Since I also create the WG agenda as markdown when making it, this goes as the seed for the cotimd notes ahead of the meeting the result is the notes are then all in markdown along with working links etc.   that live in the notes document and work for future readers.
