Nested list unexpected behavior

htbarrow commented 11 years ago

A similar issue had previously been resolved, but using four spaces to precede the list does not seem to have solved the issue for me.

When I type the following:

1. One  
    a. Two
    b. Three
2. Four

The tex that is generated looks thusly:

\begin{enumerate}
\item One\\
a. Two
b. Three

\item Four

\end{enumerate}

What I had expected was:

\begin{enumerate}
\item One\\
\begin{enumerate}
\item Two
\item Three
\end{enumerate}
\item Four

\end{enumerate}

Any thoughts on why this might be occurring? Again, I am definitely preceding the nested parts with four spaces. I have tried it also with and without a double space before the nesting, with no difference in result (other than a closer approximation of what the nesting might look like if it were parsing the way I might expect it to).

Also, thank you for getting me interested in Latex. I'm finding it a pretty interesting diversion from my work.

That's because a. does not start lists in Markdown or MultiMarkdown.

D'oh!

I should've known it was a syntax issue on my part. I even looked at the syntax guide!

Thanks for the quick reply- I'm loving mmd for motions and other legal documents (I swear I'm a better lawyer than a markdown user).
