Lists should not require blank line before them

Often a list will have a block of text before it as a heading. Markdown-to-jsx seems to require a blank line between the text before it and the list itself. Using markdown-to-jsx, this:

Header:
* item 1
* item 2

Is rendered like this:

Header: * item 1 * item 2

Using the same block of text in Github’s own markdown editor, this is what I get:

Header:

• item 1
• item 2

John Gruber’s markdown syntax guide doesn’t give a hard rule about how this edge case should be handled. However, in testing other tools, markdown-to-jsx is the only one I’ve run into that seems to have this restriction. While all of them allow a blank line and that’s fine, I’m of the opinion it shouldn’t be required since there is no spec to say it should be. A more flexible implementation is more user-friendly.

I recognized that two consecutive lists with only one blank line cause trouble:

If you paste

1. Test
2. Test

- Item 1
- Item 2

into the front-end https://probablyup.com/markdown-to-jsx/ then the output is a bit unexpected.
