[Python-markdown-discuss] create markdown sublists

[Adrien S. <adr...@gm...>]

Hi list,

Is it possible to create sub-lists with python-markdown ?

I would like something like:

1. item 1
2. item 2
3.
  3.1 item 3.1
  3.2 item 3.2
4. item 4

I tried some variations, including those described here:
https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#lists
, but it doesn't seem to work.

I just wanted to know if something like this already existed.
If not, would it be possible to write an extension to handle that ?

Thanks,
Adrien

Adrien,

As documented[1], Python-Markdown requires four spaces of indent for 
nested lists (as the rules require).

However, I doubt you will get your nested list to number as 3.1, 3.2, 
...

HTML lists do not support numbering like that, so there isn't any way to 
make markdown support it. Your example should look like this:

1. item 1
2. item 2
3.
     1. item 3.1
     2. item 3.2
4. item 4

That works in almost all implementations [2]. Hope that helps.

Thank you Wayland, it is now working.
The numbering as 3.1, etc.  is not really an issue, the main problem
was to get nested lists.
