[Python-markdown-discuss] nested list in markdown

[Benoit C. <be...@co...>]

Hi all,

For http://couch.it I decided to use python-markdown due to its  
possibilites of extension. I use lates trunk, but I have some problem  
with nested list like reported here :

http://wiki.couch.it/Bugs_and_Issues


Any idee what could be the problem ? Anyone already had this problem ?

Hi Benoit,

I justed edited that page you linked to and it works fine. The problem
is that python-markdown *requires* four spaces of indent and you only
had two. I realize some other implementations of markdown are not so
strict about that, but the way python-markdown works it's not easy to
make it more lax.

I'm not sure why your preview was working.

This has been a point of contention on the general markdown list from
time to time. It seems that most prefer the more lax interpretation -
but not everyone. The code in that part of python-markdown is some of
the oldest code and we really need to refactor it. If/when we do,
hopefully it'll be able to understand more lax indentation.
