List detection identifies dash, asterisk, and numbered list patterns
Code blocks are detected from indentation patterns and fenced syntax
Paragraph boundaries are preserved with proper Markdown spacing
URL detection converts raw URLs into clickable Markdown links
Whitespace normalization cleans up inconsistent formatting
