Nested lists

[timotheegoguely]

The following markdown is rendered is 2 consecutive lists instead of a proper nested list:

1. Item
2. Item
3. Item
    - Item
    - Item
    - Item

- Item
- Item
- Item
    1. Item
    2. Item
    3. Item

Actual output:

<ol>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
</ol>
<ul>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
</ul>
<ol>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
</ol>

Expected output:

<ol>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>
    <ul>
      <li>Item</li>
      <li>Item</li>
      <li>Item</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ol>

<ul>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>Item</li>
  <li>
    <ol>
      <li>Item</li>
      <li>Item</li>
      <li>Item</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
</ul>

@timotheegoguely The markdown is actually rendered by Kirby itself and not my plugin and Kirby currently uses a library called Parsedown for that. It would be a great help, if you could find out what formatting is acutally needed in order to procude the expected markup. If you provide me that, I would be happy to update the field’s behavior. Thanks :-)

Thank you for your answer. The examples I provided aren't enough? I'm not sure to understand well how can I be more precise to help you. 🤔

I guess the missing part of the parser is to detect the number of spaces (2 or 4) at the beginning of a list item (ordered 1. or unordered * - ) and to convert it into the appropriate nested html structure.

GitHub implement it very well by the way.

@timotheegoguely Since my plugin only provides the markdown field and has nothing to do with Kirby’s markdown parser, there is always a little chance for the PHP parser to behave a bit differently from the JS syntax highlighter used by the field. If you got a few minutes, please provide me an example of a nested list that is interpreted correctly by Kirby. That would make it easier for me, since my resources are quite limited at the moment.

Closing this, as there has not been any activity and not scope of the plugin.
