Second nested list item level, possible or not?

[Steven]

I've just started to use Parsedown and perhaps I'm (still) overlooking it but I'm missing the possibility to add a second nested list item level in lists.

Am I correct that it's not possible at the moment in the current version 1.7.4?
If so, is it (already) planned for version 2.0?

This is what I'm after:

- First list item
   - First nested list item
     - Second nested list item

This is what I currently get as a result from Parsedown:

- First list item
   - First nested list item
   - Second nested list item 

So the second nested list item is at the same level as the first nested list item, which I don't want.

In 1.7.4 I get the following output using the first input:

<ul>
<li>First list item
<ul>
<li>First nested list item
<ul>
<li>Second nested list item</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

Although if I remove one space from the second and first line (which should also be sufficient), then I get the result you're describing.

Parsedown 1 had some issues with indentation tracking when parsing nested blocks which should (hopefully) be resolved in 2.0.

When I give the following to the current version of 2.0.x:

- First list item
  - First nested list item
    - Second nested list item

Then I get the same result as commonmark, which is I think what you're after?

In Parsedown 1.x I think you might just need to over do it on the indentation to get it to recognise the nested list, but this will be done correctly in 2.0.

Thanks for that, will check it as well with version 2.0.

I've been experimenting myself a bit further last night as well with the dev branch 1.8.0-beta7.

In that version it's already possible to achieve the levels I want. It comes down to the alignment of the markers.

- First list item
   - First nested list item
      - Second nested list item 

Would still go wrong BUT when aligning the markers to the text of the level above, then it works perfectly.

- First list item
  - First nested list item
    - Second nested list item 

Glad to see it's already built into the next versions.

I'll mark this topic as closed.
