164s ###␣Motivation
164s
164s John␣Gruber's␣Markdown␣spec␣says␣the␣following␣about␣list␣items:
164s
164s 1.␣"List␣markers␣typically␣start␣at␣the␣left␣margin,␣but␣may␣be␣indented
164s ␣␣␣by␣up␣to␣three␣spaces.␣List␣markers␣must␣be␣followed␣by␣one␣or␣more
164s ␣␣␣spaces␣or␣a␣tab."
164s
164s 2.␣"To␣make␣lists␣look␣nice,␣you␣can␣wrap␣items␣with␣hanging␣indents....
164s ␣␣␣But␣if␣you␣don't␣want␣to,␣you␣don't␣have␣to."
164s
164s 3.␣"List␣items␣may␣consist␣of␣multiple␣paragraphs.␣Each␣subsequent
164s ␣␣␣paragraph␣in␣a␣list␣item␣must␣be␣indented␣by␣either␣4␣spaces␣or␣one
164s ␣␣␣tab."
164s
164s 4.␣"It␣looks␣nice␣if␣you␣indent␣every␣line␣of␣the␣subsequent␣paragraphs,
164s ␣␣␣but␣here␣again,␣Markdown␣will␣allow␣you␣to␣be␣lazy."
164s
164s 5.␣"To␣put␣a␣blockquote␣within␣a␣list␣item,␣the␣blockquote's␣`>`
164s ␣␣␣delimiters␣need␣to␣be␣indented."
164s
164s 6.␣"To␣put␣a␣code␣block␣within␣a␣list␣item,␣the␣code␣block␣needs␣to␣be
164s ␣␣␣indented␣twice␣—␣8␣spaces␣or␣two␣tabs."
164s
164s These␣rules␣specify␣that␣a␣paragraph␣under␣a␣list␣item␣must␣be␣indented
164s four␣spaces␣(presumably,␣from␣the␣left␣margin,␣rather␣than␣the␣start␣of
164s the␣list␣marker,␣but␣this␣is␣not␣said),␣and␣that␣code␣under␣a␣list␣item
164s must␣be␣indented␣eight␣spaces␣instead␣of␣the␣usual␣four.␣␣They␣also␣say
164s that␣a␣block␣quote␣must␣be␣indented,␣but␣not␣by␣how␣much;␣however,␣the
164s example␣given␣has␣four␣spaces␣indentation.␣␣Although␣nothing␣is␣said
164s about␣other␣kinds␣of␣block-level␣content,␣it␣is␣certainly␣reasonable␣to
164s infer␣that␣*all*␣block␣elements␣under␣a␣list␣item,␣including␣other
164s lists,␣must␣be␣indented␣four␣spaces.␣␣This␣principle␣has␣been␣called␣the
164s *four-space␣rule*.
164s
164s The␣four-space␣rule␣is␣clear␣and␣principled,␣and␣if␣the␣reference
164s implementation␣`Markdown.pl`␣had␣followed␣it,␣it␣probably␣would␣have
164s become␣the␣standard.␣␣However,␣`Markdown.pl`␣allowed␣paragraphs␣and
164s sublists␣to␣start␣with␣only␣two␣spaces␣indentation,␣at␣least␣on␣the
164s outer␣level.␣␣Worse,␣its␣behavior␣was␣inconsistent:␣a␣sublist␣of␣an
164s outer-level␣list␣needed␣two␣spaces␣indentation,␣but␣a␣sublist␣of␣this
164s sublist␣needed␣three␣spaces.␣␣It␣is␣not␣surprising,␣then,␣that␣different
164s implementations␣of␣Markdown␣have␣developed␣very␣different␣rules␣for
164s determining␣what␣comes␣under␣a␣list␣item.␣␣(Pandoc␣and␣python-Markdown,
164s for␣example,␣stuck␣with␣Gruber's␣syntax␣description␣and␣the␣four-space
164s rule,␣while␣discount,␣redcarpet,␣marked,␣PHP␣Markdown,␣and␣others
164s followed␣`Markdown.pl`'s␣behavior␣more␣closely.)
164s
164s Unfortunately,␣given␣the␣divergences␣between␣implementations,␣there
164s is␣no␣way␣to␣give␣a␣spec␣for␣list␣items␣that␣will␣be␣guaranteed␣not
164s to␣break␣any␣existing␣documents.␣␣However,␣the␣spec␣given␣here␣should
164s correctly␣handle␣lists␣formatted␣with␣either␣the␣four-space␣rule␣or
164s the␣more␣forgiving␣`Markdown.pl`␣behavior,␣provided␣they␣are␣laid␣out
164s in␣a␣way␣that␣is␣natural␣for␣a␣human␣to␣read.
164s
164s The␣strategy␣here␣is␣to␣let␣the␣width␣and␣indentation␣of␣the␣list␣marker
164s determine␣the␣indentation␣necessary␣for␣blocks␣to␣fall␣under␣the␣list
164s item,␣rather␣than␣having␣a␣fixed␣and␣arbitrary␣number.␣␣The␣writer␣can
164s think␣of␣the␣body␣of␣the␣list␣item␣as␣a␣unit␣which␣gets␣indented␣to␣the
164s right␣enough␣to␣fit␣the␣list␣marker␣(and␣any␣indentation␣on␣the␣list
164s marker).␣␣(The␣laziness␣rule,␣#4,␣then␣allows␣continuation␣lines␣to␣be
164s unindented␣if␣needed.)
164s
164s This␣rule␣is␣superior,␣we␣claim,␣to␣any␣rule␣requiring␣a␣fixed␣level␣of
164s indentation␣from␣the␣margin.␣␣The␣four-space␣rule␣is␣clear␣but
164s unnatural.␣It␣is␣quite␣unintuitive␣that
164s
164s ```␣markdown
164s -␣foo
164s
164s ␣␣bar
164s
164s ␣␣-␣baz
164s ```
164s
164s should␣be␣parsed␣as␣two␣lists␣with␣an␣intervening␣paragraph,
164s
164s ```␣html
164s
164s bar
164s
164s ```
164s
164s as␣the␣four-space␣rule␣demands,␣rather␣than␣a␣single␣list,
164s
164s ```␣html
164s
164s foo
164s bar
164s
164s ```
164s
164s The␣choice␣of␣four␣spaces␣is␣arbitrary.␣␣It␣can␣be␣learned,␣but␣it␣is
164s not␣likely␣to␣be␣guessed,␣and␣it␣trips␣up␣beginners␣regularly.
164s
164s Would␣it␣help␣to␣adopt␣a␣two-space␣rule?␣␣The␣problem␣is␣that␣such
164s a␣rule,␣together␣with␣the␣rule␣allowing␣1--3␣spaces␣indentation␣of␣the
164s initial␣list␣marker,␣allows␣text␣that␣is␣indented␣*less␣than*␣the
164s original␣list␣marker␣to␣be␣included␣in␣the␣list␣item.␣For␣example,
164s `Markdown.pl`␣parses
164s
164s ```␣markdown
164s ␣␣␣-␣one
164s
164s ␣␣two
164s ```
164s
164s as␣a␣single␣list␣item,␣with␣`two`␣a␣continuation␣paragraph:
164s
164s ```␣html
164s
164s ```
164s
164s and␣similarly
