It seems that the parser is outputting an extra </li> before the first element of a list.

Here's a suggested patch to fix the issue -  I haven't filed it as a PR because I understand that protocol is to report bugs here first.

In inc/class_parser.php, in function mycode_parse_list(), replace:

 		$message = preg_replace("#[^\S\n\r]*\[\*\]\s*#", "</li>\n<li>", $message);
		$message .= "</li>";

with:

		$a = preg_split("#[^\S\n\r]*\[\*\]\s*#", $message);
		if(isset($a[0]) && trim($a[0]) == '')
		{
			array_shift($a);
		}
		$message = '<li>'.implode("</li>\n<li>", $a)."</li>\n";

I can confirm the issue.
Though there is no visual impact but looking at the output source its evident.

Good catch, I never noticed this before. I'm pushing this to GitHub now.
