function processListItems($list_str, $marker_any_re) {

  #

  #	Process the contents of a single ordered or unordered list, splitting it

  #	into individual list items.

  #

  # The $this->list_level global keeps track of when we're inside a list.

  # Each time we enter a list, we increment it; when we leave a list,

  # we decrement. If it's zero, we're not in a list anymore.

  #

  # We do this because when we're not inside a list, we want to treat

  # something like this:

  #

  #		I recommend upgrading to version

  #		8. Oops, now this line is treated

  #		as a sub-list.

  #

  # As a single paragraph, despite the fact that the second line starts

  # with a digit-period-space sequence.

  #

  # Whereas when we're inside a list (or sub-list), that line will be

  # treated as the start of a sub-list. What a kludge, huh? This is

  # an aspect of Markdown's syntax that's hard to parse perfectly

  # without resorting to mind-reading. Perhaps the solution is to

  # change the syntax rules such that sub-lists must start with a

  # starting cardinal number; e.g. "1." or "a.".
  $this->list_level++;

  # trim trailing blank lines:
