Indentation irregularities #10

Closed markovial closed 1 year ago

markovial commented 1 year ago

The indent level on some answers does not render properly.

E.g.

It does not work on this answer: https://aisafety.info/?state=7602_ It does work on this answer: https://aisafety.info?state=6968_

I'm not sure whether this is possible - it looks like gdocs doesn't return info about the indentation level

In theory this case is detectable as there are styling attributes added which we could detect, but it looks complex enough that I don't think I would say it's worthwhile. For this case, best move is just prefix the line with > so the parser (or more accurately, the markdown renderers which eat the parser output!) know it's a quote.

Indentation might be actually useful for other reasons elsewhere but given this is a quote, using correct syntax to say "this is a quote" rather than trying to do something that probably looks vaguely like a quote in some ways seems preferable.
