Are these table markers in the code block above part of kmsan output?

The sentence before the list above is rendered as definition list term
instead, so I add the blank line separator:

 A use of uninitialized value ``v`` is reported by KMSAN in the following cases:
+
  - in a condition, e.g. ``if (v) { ... }``;
  - in an indexing or pointer dereferencing, e.g. ``array[v]`` or ``*v``;
  - when it is copied to userspace or hardware, e.g. ``copy_to_user(..., &v, ...)``;

Thanks.
