`MD032` - Lists should be surrounded by blank lines

Tags: blank_lines, bullet, ol, ul

Aliases: blanks-around-lists

Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling

This rule is triggered when lists (of any kind) are either not preceded or not followed by a blank line:

Some text
* Some
* List

1. Some
2. List
Some text

To fix this, ensure that all lists have a blank line both before and after (except where the block is at the beginning or end of the document):

Some text

* Some
* List

1. Some
2. List

Some text

Rationale: Aside from aesthetic reasons, some parsers, including kramdown, will not parse lists that don't have blank lines before and after them.
