A list item can begin with at most one blank line.

MD4C does not currently follow the rule of CommonMark spec 0.27 that

a list item can begin with at most one blank line.

Therefore we fail the Example 241.

However when we literally implement the rule as per this patch:

diff --git a/md4c/md4c.c b/md4c/md4c.c

+            }
         }
         goto done;
     } else {

then we stop to pass the Example 274.

After inspecting, it looks as a contradiction in the spec to me. Fired the issue jgm/CommonMark#443 for it.

Fixed.

Somewhat hacky, as the rule is quite unnatural given our implementation design, but works.

At least we can celebrate passing complete CommonMark 0.27 test suite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szdziw4tI9o
