the nested list syntax doesnt render as expected

this should be a list

this should be another list
- this should be a sublist
  1. another one with numbers

It just renders as a flat list in Writing. always creating a new list on every unordered / ordered switch.

A solution would be to add a few CSS lines here for nested lists with ul li etc.

If you have an idea, could you post the relevant CSS additions? Thanks!

Have you tried to indent with four spaces each line?

# Nested lists

* Level 1
    * Level 2
        * Level 3

It renders as intended. A fancy addition could be handling the TAB key to add four spaces (currently not working on MacOS 10.12.6).

EDIT: I just discovered that indent is inconsistent: you just need a space before second line to have a second level list, but you have to insert four if you want a third level.

you're right, my initial report was incorrect. sorry for that! (it also works with the expected two spaces)

the nesting only breaks if there are mixed ul/ol lists, and it doesnt detect a nl as a new list. this causes the root ul to fall into the nesting as well

this breaks:

1. test
1. test

* test
    *  test
