Minimal Reproduction

Follow the getting started and create a new Emma Bennet blog.

Edit the Contact me markdown from

[.stack]
  # Contact me
  I'm currently available for hire

[.stack]
  - item 1
  - item 2
  I'm currently available for hire

and this will crash.

HINT Observe that adding in a header above the list item stops it from crashing. so only crashes when the first child content is a list. For example, this does NOT crash

[.stack]
  # Contact me
  - list item 1
  - list item 2
  I'm currently available for hire
