Nested list issue when switching to - from markdown

[nevf]

In the Demo If I have:

<ol>
  <li>1
    <ol>
      <li>1.a</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>2</li>
</ol>

and switch to markdown then back to wysiwyg it looses the nested <ol> wrapper. ex.

<ol>
  <li>1</li>
  <li>1.a</li>
  <li>2</li>
</ol>

This is a very strange case, Markdown parsers don't produce this kind of output. What's your use case?

This works just fine:

* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
  * f
  * g
  * h
    * i
    * j

Seems to be an issue with only ordered lists, a Markdown input like the following

1. a
2. b
3. c
4. d
5. e
  1. f
  2. g
  3. h
    1. i
    2. j

or its html counterpart, like

<ol>
  <li>a</li>
  <li>b</li>
  <li>c</li>
  <li>d</li>
  <li>e
    <ol>
      <li>f</li>
      <li>g</li>
      <li>h
        <ol>
          <li>i</li>
          <li>j</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ol>

produces the described erroneous output when parsed into the html or wysiwyg view.

But it seems to be not a problem within woofmark or megamark, but within the underlying parser markdown-it. If you put both lists (the unordered and the ordered) as Markdown into their demo, the unordered list gets parsed correctly, but not so the ordered.
As I hope to avoid at least some work für @bevacqua, I filed an Issue with markdown-it.

To clear things up: The behaviour I observed is not what the op was talking about (shame on me). Instead, it is in fact another bug. mardown-it itself claims to be correct according to them complying with "CommonMark" by only interpreting 4-space indented ordered/numbered lists (while supporting unordered/bullet lists with both, 2- and 4-space indentation), so my Markdown example will not be converted to the desired nested list with only 2-space indention (see link to mentioned issue with markdown-it).

On the other hand, woofmark will convert a properly nested ordered/numbered list in html/wysiwyg view into a 2-space indented Markdown list when switching to Markdown.

Sorry to hijack this issue, I'll open a new one and clear my answers out of here, if you wish so.

Example A nested ordered/numbered list (4-space indented):

1. a
    1. b
        1. c

will be correctly converted to html:

<ol>
<li>a
<ol>
<li>b
<ol>
<li>c</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>

which will be converted back to a 2-space indented Markdown:

1. a
  1. b
    1. c

which will be eventually converted to a flat ordered list in html:

<ol>
<li>a</li>
<li>b</li>
<li>c</li>
</ol>

Please move this issue into domador or megamark as appropriate. Closing here.
