Markdown mode: should empty lines (with spaces) escape block lists?

[kevinushey]

For example, in the following two screenshots, the header state is disallowed because the tokenizer interprets the indentation as a continuation of a block:

Should a list-block be escaped when there is only whitespace?

ace/lib/ace/mode/markdown_highlight_rules.js

Lines 157 to 161 in 6ebacf9

	"listblock" : [ { // Lists only escape on completely blank lines.
	token : "empty_line",
	regex : "^$",
	next : "start"
	}, { // list

I think it should be escaped when the indentation is equal to the indentation of the starting line.
Currently markdown mode has many similar issues and it's syntax is hard to parse with the tokenizer ace uses.
I wonder if we could use something like https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it to make markdown highlighting better
