List in wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet renders incorrectly #572

The list example in markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet contradicts its description.

According to its description, the following code (with middle dots replaced by spaces):

  1. First ordered list item
  2. Another item ⋅⋅* Unordered sub-list.
  3. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number ⋅⋅1. Ordered sub-list
  4. And another item. should render as an ordered list with an unordered sublist after item 2 and ordered sublist after item 3. But it renders like this:
  1. First ordered list item
  2. Another item
    • Unordered sub-list.
  3. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number
    1. Ordered sub-list
  4. And another item.

Looks like the indentation of sublists is ignored and they end up on the level of the main list. Thus the unordered list breaks the parent list in 2 and the ordered sublist items are treated as items of the parent list.

If there is a way to create sublists by GitHub rules, the one wiki suggests is wrong.

Was just wondering. Glad someone has brought this up!

You need four spaces not two so:

2. Another item
⋅⋅⋅⋅* Unordered sub-list. 
1. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number
⋅⋅⋅⋅1. Ordered sub-list
4. And another item.

Thanks! But the page https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Here-Cheatsheet is still incorrect.
