Description

When a list under a list is created in the markdown, it does not indent.

This is how list in GitHub behaves

List with Sub-lists

  • 1

    • 1.1
    • 1.2

  • 2

    • 2.1
    • 2.2

And this is how showdown renders

Research direction
Examine the markdown parser code for nested list handling, find where indentation is lost, and add CSS or rendering logic to preserve it.
