Support option to use `*` for bullet lists if preffered. #392

Closed gwpl closed 1 year ago

gwpl commented 1 year ago

Context

Original Daring Fireball specification https://daringfireball.net/ , allows - and * both for bullet lists.

This causes inconsistency, as some people use - some * (which * seems to look more like default in Daring Fireball specification).

Proposal

Provide a flag that allow to canonicalize bullet lists to either * or - according to preference of mdformat user.

Hello and welcome!

Here's some of my thoughts on adding new conf options: https://github.com/executablebooks/mdformat/issues/283#issuecomment-978155862

I don't think Daring Fireball is a style guide, more like a spec, so don't think we should treat is as such. Also, mdformat supports CommonMark, not John Gruber's Markdown.
