<p>I am using RedCloth with Rails 2.1.1. The Textile <code>&lt;del&gt;</code> tag markup format (i.e. -delete-) was not translating at all.  Tried a few choice options.</p>

<pre><code>&gt; x=RedCloth.new('foobar -blah-')
=&gt; "foobar -blah-"
&gt; x.to_html
=&gt; "&lt;p&gt;foobar &lt;del&gt;blah&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"  # WORKED!
&gt; x=RedCloth.new('foobar * -blah-')
=&gt; "foobar * -blah-"
&gt; x.to_html
=&gt; "&lt;p&gt;foobar * &lt;del&gt;blah&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"  # WORKED!
&gt; x=RedCloth.new("foobar\n* -blah-")
=&gt; "foobar\n* -blah-"
&gt; x.to_html
=&gt; "&lt;p&gt;foobar&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n\t&lt;li&gt;-blah-&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;"  # DID NOT WORK!
</code></pre>

<p>It appears to me that newlines are the culprit in throwing RedCloth up-in-arms. Any solutions to getting RedCloth to properly recognize '-delete-'?  I have tried RedCloth 4.0.1, 4.0.3, and 4.0.4.</p>

Looks like RedCloth needs a little more syntax to interpret the delete tag as the first element after a list item...
```
```
>> RedCloth.new("foobar\n* [-blah-]").to_html
=> "<p>foobar</p>\n<ul>\n\t<li><del>blah</del></li>\n</ul>"
```
```
