Markdown: Lists

language: "markdown"

- a   ¦      ->      - a b ¦
  b c ¦                c   ¦

Any paragraph under a list item can have the second line indented less than the list item content indent. If this is so it will be preserved.

·*··a b   ¦              ·*··a b c ¦
c d e     ¦              d e       ¦
          ¦      ->                ¦
····a b   ¦              ····a b c ¦
c d e     ¦              d e       ¦

However, when creating a new second line, its indent is set to match that of the first, since that is most desirable.

·+··a b c d e      ->      ·+··a b c ¦
          ¦                    d e   ¦

Similarly any newly-created line in a paragraph is given the same indent as the line above it.

·*··text  ¦                ·*··text  ¦
  text text                  text    ¦
          ¦                  text    ¦
····text text      ->                ¦
     text ¦                ····text  ¦
          ¦                     text ¦
          ¦                     text ¦

List items may be separated by blank lines

* a b c d e      ->      * a b c d ¦
  f       ¦                e f     ¦
          ¦                        ¦
    * a b c                  * a b ¦
      d   ¦                    c d ¦
          ¦                        ¦
    * a b c                  * a b ¦
      d   ¦                    c d ¦

There may be 1-4 spaces between the list item marker and following text, and this determines the indent for the rest of the list item. If there are more spaces, the indent is reset to 1 space, and the text is considered an inline code block.

··+     code block                 ··+     code block
····text in list item      ->      ····text in    ¦
               ¦                       list item  ¦

Terminating paragraphs

An unordered list item terminates a paragraph.

text        ¦                text        ¦
···-  list item      ->      ···-  list  ¦
            ¦                      item  ¦

As long as the marker is indented 3 spaces or less.

text        ¦                 text -  list¦
····-  list item      ->      ····item    ¦

Terminating the list item

Any line that is not a paragraph continuation line, where the text indent is less than that of the first line of the list item, terminates the list item and that line is not part of it.

Here the ATX heading is not in the list item because the indent is too small:

·-··text     ¦      ->      ·-··text     ¦
···# heading ¦              ···# heading ¦

Here however, even though the heading is indented less than the text, since it is indented 4 spaces, it's counted as a paragraph continuation line instead:

··-··text     ¦      ->      ··-··text #   ¦
····# heading ¦              ····heading   ¦

If a fenced code block inside a list item has a line with less than the required indent, it and the list item are terminated.

*··```   ¦              *··```   ¦
···foo   ¦      ->      ···foo   ¦
··bar    ¦              ··bar baz¦
··baz    ¦                       ¦

Other tests

Double list-item:

- - a  ¦      ->      - - a b¦
b      ¦                     ¦

- - - is a thematic break rather than a triple list item.

- - -                  ¦                  - - -                  ¦
      indented         ¦          ->            indented         ¦
      code block       ¦                        code block       ¦
