Description:
------------
If you try to write a [list] into another [list] the level one list is broken

Reproduce code:
---------------
[list]
[*] Subject 1
[list]
[*] First
[*] Second
[/list]
[*] Subject 2
[/list]

Expected result:
----------------
<ul>
<li> Subject 1
</li>
<ul>
<li> First
</li>
<li> Second
</li>
</ul>
<li> Subject 2
</li>
</ul>

Actual result:
--------------
<ul>
<li> Subject 1
</li>
[list]
<li> First
</li>
<li> Second
</li>
</ul>
<li> Subject 2
</li>

Try using the [li] and [/li] tags instead of the [*] shorthand.

Input code:
-------------
[list]
[li] Subject 1
[list]
[li] First[/li]
[li] Second[/li]
[/list][/li]
[li] Subject 2[/li]
[/list]

Actual output code:
-------------
<ul>
<li> Subject 1
<ol>
<li> First</li>
<li> Second</li>
</ol></li>
<li> Subject 2</li>
</ul>

Expected output code:
-------------
<ul>
<li> Subject 1
<ul>
<li> First</li>
<li> Second</li>
</ul></li>
<li> Subject 2</li>
</ul>

As you see, this still isn't completely ok. The [list] tag without a type parameter (like 1, a, A), should be replaced by an [ulist] tag by a regexp.

The problem with using the [*] shorthand is, that everything following it until there's a newline, is replaced by a regexp with [li]\\1[/li].
By design, the only tag allowed within <ul> and <ol> is <li>. So the second [list] tag isn't allowed, and won't be parsed.
