Nested lists with 2+ levels

[andreferreirav2]

When creating lists with more than 2 levels, the 3rd level turns red and there is no actual change in the preview.

In order to create a 3rd level I need to add 3 tabs instead of 1.
Plus, there is a weird extra line spacing between the 1st and 2nd levels.

Sounds like a bug with CodeMirror itself or maybe one of its plugins 🤔

This will probably get fixed once we switch to Monaco #203

I think there are 2 issues here actually:

This is a problem with CodeMirror, and it will probably get fixed when we switch to Monaco #203.

This is a bug with showdown: showdownjs/showdown#367

We just switched to Monaco #203 and this is no longer a problem.

The bug about the rendering is still present though.

Running into the same issues with lists not being indented properly

[wh0am1-dev]

If you use 4 spaces indentation instead of 2 spaces, it renders properly. 🎉
It is not consistent with the editor inserting 2 spaces on tab, though.

@neko250 yeah, turned out our Markdown processor doesn't support 2-space indented lists. This will get fixed once we switch to marked #531

[fabiospampinato]

Fixed in v1.6.

But ordered lists indented this way are not supported by CommonMark, for some reason that really makes no sense to me, I'll probably get this fixed too in a later release. commonmark/commonmark-spec#594

[fabiospampinato]

Reopening as some patching of the Markdown compiler is required to make this work for ordered lists too.
