Subject: [PATCH] Add a bullet to the beginning of any <li> (#368)

Currently there is no visual indication whatsoever if something is in a
list. An `<li>` is essentially just another paragraph.

As a partial remedy for this, add a bullet character to the beginning of
`<li>` text blocks so that the user can see that they're list items.
This is incomplete in that an `<ol>` should also have a counter so that
its list items can get numbers instead of bullets (right now I don't
think we track if we're in a `<ul>` or an `<ol>` at all), but it's
strictly better than the current situation.
