"Properly" here should mean "anything that the markdown language says is OK". The markdown language is remarkably relaxed about indentation. It can handle it fine if one list is indented by two space, and other by three. There seems to be no need for Debian to impose stricter definitions. Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying, Andreas?
No.
liw@dorfl$ cat foo.mdwn This is a normal paragraph. * this is top level item * this is second level item * this is another second level item * this is again a top level item This is another paragraph. * this is top level item * this is second level item * this is another second level item * this is again a top level item liw@dorfl$ markdown foo.mdwn <p>This is a normal paragraph.</p> <ul> <li>this is top level item <ul> <li>this is second level item</li> <li>this is another second level item</li> </ul></li> <li>this is again a top level item</li> </ul> <p>This is another paragraph.</p> <ul> <li>this is top level item <ul> <li>this is second level item</li> <li>this is another second level item</li> </ul></li> <li>this is again a top level item</li> </ul> liw@dorfl$
In principle this is fine as well. That's why my initial mail[1]
said "This suggestion is far from complete and should be enhanced."
If there is a need to relax my strictly German habit to trimm
everything very tidy - people should have told me so. But the
discussion drifted away very much. I'm a fan of stricter rules
feel free to relax this. Finally I want something which *works*.
Thanks for helping out to explain my point
Andreas.
