Syntax highlighting inside lists

[matchatype]

Bug: Caret does not recognize correctly nested lists inside one another.

• Tabbing one time indents item two spaces and doesn't render as a nested item
• Tabbing two times does work only for ordered nested lists
  • If you nest an unordered list inside an ordered one with 4 spaces (2 tabs), syntax does not highlight the nested item, although it renders correctly
  • Nesting with just a single tab is ignored as nesting

Feature: Caret might follow symbols logical order

I like to use different, more complicated symbols, for nested lists to indicate the additional level of complexity -, +, * like in the following example:

- This is an item
- And it's part of an unordered list
- Which may contain nested elements
  + Like this one
    * Nesting should work
    * At multiple levels
  + And this one
- This ends the unordered list

Caret currently remember the last used symbol, and I'd like it to remember the logical order instead. When moving from a * level element back to a + level element or -, I'd like the right symbol to follow along.

I know in Markdown symbols are just indicators loosely coupled (for example you can keep numbering an ordered list with subsequent 1. and have it still work), but I still think this would improve legibility. It's not mandatory, but I think a nice added touch.

Do you still experience this in the latest version?

This should be fixed in the current version.

This'd probably be quite hard to implement, but I like it so I'll see what we can do.

Both are now working, thank you!

Would love that 😬
