Ignored sub-bullets in bullet lists

Question

Bullet lists do not indent subheadings, no matter which "style" I choose. See Marked screenshot and screenshot of correct rendering from another app.

Chances are you're using MultiMarkdown and only indenting with 2 spaces. Either indent with 4, or switch to CommonMark or Apex processor.

Thanks Brett.

This file was written by ChatGPT. It confirms your hunch about what what wrong and why.

I've added standing rules for all my AI apps to use the four spaces protocol so that will fix for me, even if not the rest of the world.

I'll be curious to see what my other Markdown writers do (for instance Wave note take) to see how common this problem is.
