List with greater than symbol

Bear feedback Bear Bug Report
1
  • Bear Version:2.3.10
  • OS Version: Sonoma 14.5
  • What happened: When writing in a list (unordered or ordered) if the first character typed is a greater than sign (>) the character is immediately replaced by what appears to be an empty code block, however you can’t enter anything in it.
  • What did you expect to happen: I was hoping for * >
    I’m not 100% this is a bug, I suppose it’s possible that * > is a shortcut for whatever character but that doesn’t seem intuitive to me.

> (gt space) on start of line, is standard Markdown code for block-quote, so this is intended behavior.

If you need the line to start with >, you can use the escape character \> in front of it.
(\ will be hidden when not in focus)

Ah thanks. I guess I should have looked at the markdown docs. It’s cool that block-quotes are respected inside lists.
